YES

In December 2020, Xi Jinping announced a 1200 GW target for 2030 at that year's UN Climate Ambition Summit. China has since claimed that it will reach its target five years early:

This market resolves YES if the target is reached at some point in 2025, and will resolve NO if the target has not been reached yet by January 1, 2026.

  • Update 2025-02-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - China has already surpassed its 2030 renewable target by July 2024, reaching 1,206 GW.

    • Therefore, the market will now resolve as YES.

>China has surpassed its NDC target for wind and solar capacity six years ahead of schedule, reaching 1,206 GW in July 2024

@spiderduckpig Oh wow, I did not do my homework properly. Oh well, guess it should resolve YES!

@spiderduckpig holy shit, neither did I, the advantage of totalitarianism I guess is ability to force through any target, at cost of civilian quality of life and/or truth if they're mostly lying or passing on an unconventional technicality
