I have a question about the book China's Solar Revolution. Why did the Chinese government decide to invest so much in solar power?

The Chinese government decided to invest in solar power because they wanted to reduce their dependence on coal. Coal is a dirty fuel that produces a lot of greenhouse gases. Solar power is a clean energy source that produces no greenhouse gases. The Chinese government also wanted to reduce their dependence on foreign oil. Solar power is a renewable energy source that does not require any foreign oil.
