So the Paris Agreement means targets for different countries at different times.
The agreement was that everyone would scale back but advanced economies that already benefitted from cheap dirty energy would stop sooner.
China target under the Paris Agreement was peak CO2 emissions 2030 then cutting down afterwards to be carbon neutral in 2060. China revised to be peak 2025 (they only seem to set publicly once on target) and agreement not to build coal power stations outside China.
So whilst we can agree it's bad news, it is still within the agreement.
