  "summary": "China has reportedly cancelled two-thirds of its planned coal power projects abroad, according to a new report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) and People of Asia for Climate Solutions (PACS). The 61.5-gigawatt (GW) cut in capacity has saved an estimated 6.4 billion tonnes of lifetime carbon dioxide emissions. While private Chinese companies continue to develop some projects, the pace of cancellations has slowed in recent months. Indonesia remains the country with the most Chinese-linked coal projects, followed by Vietnam and Pakistan. The cancellation of these projects has allowed for the expansion of renewable energy in some regions, presenting new economic opportunities for China and its partners in the Global South.",
