We can do it much greener than China tho. And we need a lot of metal to transform from oil/coal to solar/nuclear. Do you prefer we buy that metal from China or even do nothing and remain dependent on oil and coal for another century or two? Remember that huge portions of Asia and Africa also needs metals to build ANY electric infrastructure as people in many parts of the world still have ZERO access to electric power lines and light their homes with kerosene lamps.
