Good point, I was a bit inaccurate with my last comment.

If you look at the non-per capita consumption based emissions and divide that by the amount of people, you'll find that Americans consume way more per capita.

China has the bigger (even per capita) number in terms of production, but they export a lot of what they produce, whereas Americans get all their shit from China and can then claim China has the worse emissions.

Here's a map showing consumption-based emissions per capita, you can see that the US has a number twice as big as China's.
