You can’t do carbon production attribution the same between a consumption and a production nation at the per capita level

Someone paying to fly a private jet and a slave putting coal into a furnace aren’t the same

I really don't see that as a fair comparison. OP wasn't equating individual citizens, they were equating the nations as a whole. And China, as a state, definitely isn't akin to a slave being forced to do this dirty work.
