What China is doing is enabling the global south to leapfrog fossil fuels and jump to renewables.
It's expected that China is going to plateau in emissions soon: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gdd6jdm42o https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gdd6jdm42o
Air quality is something China is actively working on and has had massive improvements: https://www.cfr.org/blog/chinas-battle-against-air-pollution-update https://www.cfr.org/blog/chinas-battle-against-air-pollution...
And, measuring the emissions of China on its own is a pretty useless thing given they're the world's factory. A flattening of emissions increase is an absolutely huge deal.
