The decline in coal consumption fits an overall pattern seen in China over the past few years, which suggests that China is running out of high quality coal.

First identified by William Jevons in 1865 — when he noticed more efficient engines increased rather than reduced coal use, as engines were put into more widespread use — the rebound effect for higher yields could see food prices drop, encouraging greater consumption, more food waste and even more conversion of habitats to farmland.
So we shall soon see what the real climate sensitivity is, as the resultant CO2 levels of production from those who have NO INTENTION of slowing down their coal and oil consumption, continue to ramp up their use of fossil fuels.
While the past few years have seen similar increases in natural gas and oil consumption in China, 2017 will reverse a few years of flat or declining coal consumption.

If we ramp up new industries without reducing other things, we could see a short term increase in fossil fuel consumption and consequent CO2 emissions (relative to BAU), but if that is the start of a larger and permanent reduction of CO2eq emissions, then it's worth it (or in other words, much better to get 100 kWh per kg coal than 3 (or whatever much smaller number it actually is) kWh per kg coal).
Given that many nations are already seeing overall energy consumption and coal use decline (over and above any impact of an economic slowdown), this latest announcement is a very welcome confirmation that China is also benefitting from this rapid transition.
