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.
Climate change doesn’t care if China has 2 billion people.
We need to reduce emissions and I’m sick of hearing people defend China’s year on year exponential increasing of emissions because they’re a “developing country” they’re wealthy enough to take the economic hit that comes with reducing emissions. The rest of the world is trying and all that effort is for nothing if China doesn’t participate.
