The graph PG posted is adjusted for CO2 due to imports and exports.
I didn’t see that but I am still enormously skeptical about that. Depends on how they “adjust”. Doesn’t seem like a trivial thing to do when China’s coal power plants are powering the machines making the sub components, components, and final products.

Further, I’d argue, having lived in the west and been to China a lot over the period, that this “adjustment” does not pass the smell test of what we’ve seen over our lives.

Highly likely you can’t trust the CO2 estimates for the developing world as well. Chinese pollution stats about as trustworthy as their COVID #’s.
