Pressuring China is good, but not good enough to beat out biking. (They're also not either-or options, so there's no real excuse not to do the latter.)
If bike usage doubled in the west which is very unrealistic it still wouldn't reduce emissions as much as China reducing their emissions by 1%.
The sheer amount of co2 China is releasing is insane and its increasingly ever year. China alone releases 36% of the world's co2. If you can pressure them to follow what the west is doing you can make giant gains in co2 reduction. If you ignore China then all your efforts will be futile because they will continue to increase emissions.
