FYI, it took about 5 minutes online to understand China building more coal plants is a strategic move to better balance the grid and add flexibility to their energy needs. It allows them to control output and does NOT NECESSARILY mean that more plants= more coal burned.
Christ Even your own Germany article cites the country's reliance on Russian gas as being a major issue which is EXACTLY THE POINT IM TRYING TO MAKE.
Also many articles I've read point out that one of the major limitations on renewables is that, in order to become more reliable, there needs to be a battery storage option on the grid like California is developing to be able to smooth out the dips. Most in Europe did not add energy storage as they added wind and solar. Many US states are even dipping their toes into the Virtual Power Plant by subsidizing power walls in homes with the agreement to be able to reach into those batteries when needed. Tesla seems to be on the cutting edge of this.
