In large part because we’ve offshored all our manufacturing there. They’re still our emissions, even if they’re happening in China. We can’t absolve ourselves that easily
Not per capita. The US, Canada, Australia, and Saudi Arabia are by far much much worse. Pretend each Chinese province is its own country if it makes you feel better. The earth doesn’t care about political boundaries.
I understand that Saudi Arabia has higher per capita emissions than the US according to the Wikipedia article I linked to. But for some reason the pope is fixated on the west and the US.
China is the largest emitter of greenhouse gasses.

Each of those provinces have the same federal Government that makes the rules.
Yes and those rules produce fewer emissions per capita than places like the US. Do you not understand what “per capita” means?

For some reason you’re fixated on pretending it’s not the west and US’s problem too. Whataboutism is the refuge of the sycophant.
Good thing we don’t live on the same planet as China, had me worried for a sec.
