China is still the world's leading polluter, in a time where those so-called "scientists" most definitely know what they're doing contributing to global climate change like they are. No country is innocent, but making no attempt to not be first isn't a defensible policy position.
China is the one of the most populated country in the world. It produces about 30% of all manufactured goods many of which is consumed by rest of the world. So yeah there is going to be some pollution. If we take about on a per-person basis countries like the U.S. still emit more. Moreover, China is the largest investor in renewable energy and China alone accounted for roughly 40% of the world’s renewable energy investment.
