Lacking the natural gas resources the U.S.A. has, China would like to synthesize gas from coal in Inner Mongolia (which is part of China, not the nation of Mongolia) for transport to major cities across China.
Inner Mongolia has about a quarter of the world's known coal reserves and would become, by analogy, China's Texas in terms of gas production.
This would also leave most of the pollution in Inner Mongolia away from the Chinese elite in other places, except for the greenhouse gasses which everyone on earth will suffer.
If we humans had any common sense we would quit fossil fuels entirely. Unlike the U.S.A., China is enthusiastically building nuclear power plants which are the only realistic alternative to fossil fuels.
