China is building a solar future because they have a vested self interest in building it. It is great that a major economic power has a reason to build this, but China’s reasonings for going solar is more of a collection of local decisions.
While that’s all true, if the US built the solar future then it would also be true of the US. Altruism unfettered by vested self-interest doesn’t really exist at a strategic level, and at the end of the day the reasons why we avert planet-scale mass suicide are kind of irrelevant, as long as we get it done.
