Both China and India have minuscule per capita emissions when compared to the EU. The difference is more stark when accounting for emissions of exported goods, which are often consumed in the EU.
The problem isn’t the poor people on the other side of the planet.

I wouldn't call 24% minuscule but it is pretty significant so for India I'd score the claim as sort of correct. China's per capita CO2 emissions per capita are around 97% of the EU's. If they were an EU country they would be comfortably in the middle of EU country emissions per capita, about halfway between France and Germany.
