There is enough coal to last for centuries.
There has been a lot of work on what could happen to China in the future. Take a look at the SRES scenarios of the IPPC or the MA (released March 30, 2005).

China has been having very rapid increases in the efficency with which it uses energy – however not rapid enough to make up for increased energy use (same as Canada).

If China is planning to rely on coal for an indefinite amount of time it needs to realize that this plan wo’nt wokr! out and out simple: too many people + not enough coal = power supply failure soon.
