Yea but the us and most of the west has actually reduced its emission growth while China continues to increase with no signs of stopping.
China hides behind the label of developing nation to avoid taking responsibility for climate change.
That’s also largely because the US has outsourced polluting industries to places like China. So reducing emissions while increasing industry and physical production is harder, but it looks like China is working towards it.
How is that relevant? China accepting polluting industry is chinas problem. The only reason companies want to move to China is because they know China doesn’t give a fucj about the environment and are happy to ruin the world for a dollar. That’s not other countries fault its chinas fault.
Because if China is holding steady on fossil fuels while absorbing polluting industries, other countries like the US have no excuse at all.
The rapid growth in power generation from solar shows that the solar capacity boom is delivering new electricity supplies at a scale sufficient to cover much of China’s demand growth.
This reinforces the view that China’s CO2 emissions are in a period of structural decline.

Bro they are the biggest economy in the world, they have modern infrastructure, a middle class. If they are still developing then we can call every nation a developing nation.
I think you underestimate just how many people are in China and how much development actually needs to happen in order to meet their needs. The urbanization rate of China is still lower than most developed nations despite the massive amounts of construction they’ve done in recent years.
