Now, let's take the headline and put it into a magical machine that turn what the idealistic well-meaning activists and politicians wanted to happen to the immediate practical outcome of the action. The magical machine that replaces the intention with the practical outcome of the action is simply replacing "climate change" with "the western nations must consume less because China needs cheap commodities and needs to have a competitive advantage over the west to become the dominant global power". Climate change activism in its practical aspect seems to be a never-ending "prisoners dilemma" where the west always cooperates and China always defects.
