It's not a competition between nuclear and solar, but whenever you hear people say China adds x amounts of GW in solar, consider this:

In 2023, 57 GW of installed nuclear power produced 47% more electricity in China 🇨🇳 than 609 GW of installed solar modules.

This is the harsh reality of intermittent renewable energy. For comparison: a 1.2 GW class nuclear power plant generates the same amount of electricity as 15.8 GW of installed PV.
