China's skyrocketing renewable energy sector has lead to them reaching the goal of less than 50% of power capacity being fossil fuels two years ahead of schedule. Solar power has increased by 33% and wind has increased by 12% in the last year.
Important caveat: this refers to peak generation, which is not often achieved in practice with weather dependent power sources like solar and wind. Actual power consumption was at 28.8% for renewables in 2020, with the current five year plan aiming for 33% by 2025. For comparison, the US is currently at 20%.

Unfortunately, the news will probably just be about China's imminent collapse and how America is entering a new period of greatness because the rate of increase in mortality from consuming radioactive pork rinds has dropped slightly. Regulating the production of pork rinds, or even requiring warning labels, has been declared unconstitutional.
