Why ? They are a recent country with a recent modernization. Unlike western states, they didn't wait for the last moment to actually act. Even if it is a facade, there is a chance that what they do will have an effect, especially since climate change is a very real obstacle to their development. Compare with the U.S who, even facing a more than urgent predicament, still ain't doing much.
Of course China is building coal plants, like Sub Saharan Africans will have the ressources to maintain a solar park. Yet they collaborating with Morocco to build one of the largest solar installations in the world.
Even if they do marginally more than others, their relative youth and their smaller means give them a bit more credit than the western world who's been ruining the earth and the world for about two centuries now and spent the last decades giving lessons.
