The CO2 per capita produced in China is significantly less than the CO2 per capita produced in most first world countries.

Even if an average first world person decides to eat no meat at all, they're still gonna cause more CO2 emission than an average chinese person.

This isn't to be blamed on China.

While countries with higher per-capita emissions have work to do, China's raw pollution is absolutely an issue.
