That's a funny statistic to focus on when the actual use of coal for electricity has increased by 50% over the same period.

It's almost like they are using it to cover baseload or something.

It shows that the percentage share of electricity generated from coal in China peaked at ~80% in 2007 and was at ~54% last year.
