That would require a socialist world. Only that can curb carbon emissions. If that doesn’t happen, and China remains one of the few bastions of AES, we will see the deaths of hundreds of millions of people, the collapse of entire ecosystems etc. Not a lot China can do when their crops start failing and their water supplies vanish and entire cities start drowning.
to be fair, the South–North Water Transfer Project will ensure their access to water and sponge city urban planning will probably insulate them from floods to some extent
but yeah the ecological collapse might be too extreme for a single country to deal with
