China has more CO2 emissions than all of the developed world combined in 2019

China has double the population of the USA and EU combined. Of course their emissions are higher. Their emissions per capita are half that of the US and below the EU as well.
Emissions per capita:
16 - USA
7.3 - Europe
7.1 - China

With that in mind they very rightly point out that we have no reason to judge their emission levels especially when CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere is cumulative and the VAST majority of CO2 and other greenhouse gases emitted over the last century came from the US and Europe.
