What the source says
China alone is responsible for over 40% of global renewable capacity growth, which is largely driven by concerns about air pollution and capacity targets that were outlined in the country’s 13th five-year plan to 2020.
Checked: the figure 40% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
