They do not need to be forced to do it, their country was already too polluted and their leadership projected there will be civil unrest if they did not and have acted to counter that.
They are also now the worlds largest producer and consumer of solar panels and high speed rail and among the largest for electric buses.

Well, yeah. They have a billion people. Everything they do is the largest. They also make most of the world's shoes. So what?
