there is no shortage of coal

there is shortage of willingness that would be corrected by administrative measures

up until the middle of last year china administratively capped the electricity tariff and let coal pricing float

by middle of last year china allowed electricity tariff to rise and capped coal pricing

as the large coal and electricity producers are in the majority state-owned (even as all have public float), the shuffling back n forth merely serve to calibrate profit n loss between coal users and coal producers

at some juncture coal pricing would be free-ed up, and electricity tariff would be capped

the infrastructure spending between mines and power stations obviously would take turns, all the while there is some smoothing of inflation at the consumer level
