Never. Why ? Just compare the per capita emissions of the US to china. Guess which one is more than double the other

I mean, with that approach there are 15 other countries with higher per cap emissions. This shouldn't be a whatabout issue, this should be a "yes, what china's doing sucks and should stop" issue.

US emissions are also a problem, yes. Now, back to China, which is the topic at hand.

Well that’s easy. Divide China into 50 countries. Now none of them are anywhere near as polluting. Problem solved.

I know everyone says lots of smaller countries are much worse than one big one, but there's definitely a population between 1.5bn and 1 that's more stable than 1.5bn...the point where the power those small nations hold is too small for their inherent instability to matter.

Montenegro isn't going around picking on other nations, while China is happily spying and murdering and threatening and generally having an overall negative impact on the world.
