    They’re a developing nation, and well below their historical carbon budget per capita.

    They’ve committed to peaking in 2030.

      that doesn't mean billions won't suffer long term because of the party not taking drastic immediate action. that being said, it's really mostly on the west and the global 1% not the majority of China.

        look the only way to curb their carbon and also make a significant dent to global warming is to nuke America.

            I'm following your damn logic. The only factors they can handle are their own projected carbon emissions. America and other developed nations are worse polluters, per capita than China.

              yes, a large amount of Chinese people live in poverty. Doesn't the mean the capitalist class of China aren't responsible for a considerable amount of carbon emissions, like the rest of the global 1%. Borders are stupid, don't compare per capita. Class analysis of emissions is really the only relevant analysis.

        Sure, the major cities are hot shit, but there are parts of China, especially rurally, where it’s all but a completely different country.

        That’s why it’s still considered ‘developing’.
