      Badly written. 80% are industrial. They are, based on their public numbers, responsible for a third of the world’s CO2 though.

      Their official numbers put them at number 1 CO2 emitter, and pollute more then next 5.

      and even if it was true, guess why they have so much emissions! It’s to make products for us consumers in the west!

        Yes although I think China is a wealthy and capable enough country at this point that we can expect them to start reducing emissions like most other countries. But they aren’t really attempting to do this, and deserve criticism for that. As do Westerners who uncritically buy products from them despite their deeply problematic production model.
