China makes pretty much everything from the laptop I'm typing on to the pushchair we just bought. Manufacturing all these things causes CO2. I bet most of China's CO2 emissions are due to manufacturing the stuff that you and I buy every day. That makes it our CO2. Kind of futile to point the finger at China.
