The smaller your economy's GDP dependency on oil, the less vulnerable you are to oil shocks. Same for coal. Self-sufficiency, and all that. So they've taken measures to increase the proportion of their economy's energy mix that comes from renewables (which aren't imported) so that they are more resilient against efforts to use energy as a weapon against them. Not immune - just more resilient. China's smart enough to realize that if you're a major energy importer, adding renewables to your energy mix is very beneficial to your energy security.
Whoa. So Drill, baby, Drill *is* a good strategery. Who knew.
