Decarbonizing China's energy system requires both greening the power supplyand end-use electrification. While the latter speeds up with the electricvehicle adoption, a rapid power sector transformation can be technologicallyand institutionally challenging. Using an integrated assessment model, weanalyze the synergy between power sector decarbonization and end-useelectrification in China's net-zero pathway from a system perspective. We showthat even with a slower coal power phase-out, reaching a high electrificationrate of 60% by 2050 is a robust optimal strategy. Comparing emission intensityof typical end-use applications, we find most have reached parity withincumbent fossil fuel technologies even under China's current power mix due toefficiency gains. Since a 10-year delay in coal power phase-out can result inan additional cumulative emission of 28% (4%) of the global 1.5{\deg}C(2{\deg}C) CO2 budget, policy measures should be undertaken today to ensure apower sector transition without unexpected delays.
