It seems China figures out what's the best thing to do, and then just does it. There's no doubts or unnecessary debate about it.
It has been clear to anyone who is paying attention that nuclear power (even fission) is vastly superior to every other method in the long term. It is cleaner than coal/gas, more reliable than solar/wind, less environmentally disruptive than hydro.
Then why isn't everybody doing it? At least the countries with the know-how should be all in on it. USA, Germany, Japan, India, France, all of these should be building a hundred new reactors every year. But instead we are sitting on our assess while China marches on.
