#6  I think we could use the "Newcastle" saying there.

But, you know what? So what? The UK and the US and possibly Germany and France owe their industrial revolutions to coal. Besides, doesn't some entity consider China a "developing nation"?

#5  Wouldn’t we help the trade deficit if we sold them some coal to go along with our strategic oil reserves?

#1  Let me throw something out here. There have been many stories about half-empty cities and unused buildings / office spaces, etc. throughout China in recent years. That's classic misallocation of resources from commie planners that think they know better than the market does. Why is this hard-on for more power plants any different? Let them shoot their wad.
