China is making more coal. It is also storing more natural gas. China wants to get its own energy. This means it will need less from other countries. This is because China's economy is growing.
Last year, China made 4.83 billion tons of coal. This is more than the year before. China is also building more places for natural gas. This plan helps China's money. It also makes China safe. China wants energy for a long time.
China is also talking more. News in China is not nice about the United States. This is to make people like China more. It helps people feel proud of China.
China also has new laws. These laws are for "ethnic unity." Some people say this is good. Others say it helps one group more. This might change languages in some places.
The leader, Li Qiang, said China wants to grow 4.5% this year. This is not a big goal. It shows China has some money problems. China's energy plan and news show it wants to be strong. It wants to make its own choices. This can change energy and world news.
