Communist China is the largest coal producer in the world, 2007 - 2.62 billion short tons.
"Red China is 3rd in the world in terms of total coal reserves behind the United States and Russia. Most reserves are located in the north and north-west of the country, which poses a large logistical problem for supplying electricity to the more heavily populated coastal areas."
77% of Red China's electricity is generated by coal.
