China is far better at long term societal planning. Ultimately, I expect they will be the ones who can solve the climate crisis, after being one of the biggest contributors to the problem.
Sure, but most of that is from industrial production, and really should be debited on importing nations’ CO2 accounts. Whereas in the US transportation, heating and construction are the main consumers.
Importing nations are already paying for the imports themselves, from which China profits. It seems reasonable that this leaves the responsibility for the energy used on China's side.
