Good old hypocrisy, what humanity does best.

I didn't know that cars, ships, and planes, all of which are vital for logistical powerhouses, ran on coal.China has oil. It's not like it has no domestic oil. Besides you assume that it is impossible to turn coal into oil.
It has domestic oil, but not enough to support itself during peace or wartime. I also doubt their ability to produce enough coal to make up for the losses they would sustain.China has about 13% of the world's coal. Since coal is predicted to last about 150 years I think they will have enough coal. Besides the are moving heavily into renewable energy so they could divert more coal to making oil and less to power generation.
