Chinese companies installed 93 GW of solar and 27 GW of wind in a single month in May. That's about 230 million solar panels and 5300 wind turbines. That's almost 100 solar panels every second, and a wind turbine every 10 minutes.

Anyways, as most calculations are basically Activity Data X Emission Factor and AD is mostly positively correlated with GDP, overreporting GDP implies overreporting emissions (not underreporting)

There is probably a huge uncertainty on those numbers, but unlike GDP, the emissions were not reported by Chinese national statistics but are based on independent calculations (which of course partly use official statistics).
