That would be interesting indeed. Isn't a large part of the emissions generated by China the result of producing stuff ordered/purchased by the USA?

China is cutting out coal even turning back ships from North Korea mid shipment. And China is said to be spending $360 billion over the next three years implementing more green power sources. But has already installed a lot of solar and wind. In fact "one new wind turbine per hour in 2015" according to Greenpeace.
