Hi Rachel,
that seems high --- this is from WIKI for 2014 and may be dated.
But in that year China had all renewables at 23%.
Of that 81% was hydro electricity which is not entirely harmless (3 Gorges Dam for example).
The other 19% was Waste Burning, Wind, Biofuels, Solar, Solar Thermal, Geothermal and Tide.
That means that only 19% of 23% or 4.4% of the total power consumed was renewables in what are the "New Renewable" non-hydro electric sources of power. 
I know China is growing those sectors quickly, but we need to be accurate.
The number for Germany is a bit cherry-picked and was for a very short period of time.
I could not find a reference for that but I believe you.

I found this quote:
"When wind and solar are not available to generate electricity, German power buyers turn to coal. In fact, Germany opened over 10 gigawatts of new coal fired power plants over the past 5 years."
