If you are referring to the chart titled China: Consumption-based accounting, that chart doesn't account for C02 attributable to the products Chinese manufacturers export.
It merely adjusts Chinese domestic C02 emissions by adding imported emissions that are encapsulated in imported goods.
The term "Consumption" as used for the chart does not mean Chinese domestic consumption, but rather describes all C02 emitted domestically, including in the manufacturing of goods destined for export.

Read the description, or their longer description here: https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2 https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2 > To calculate consumption-based emissions we need to track which goods are traded across the world, and whenever a good was imported we need to include all CO2 emissions that were emitted in the production of that good, and vice versa to subtract all CO2 emissions that were emitted in the production of goods that were exported.
