granted, just because china is doing worse, doesn't mean we can't do better. however, we don't appear to be the country that's increasing emissions.
it's pretty understandable to see an issue, when there doesn't appear to be the same activism towards china as there is the USA.

China says:
we'll lead the future for the Paris Agreement... after we burn all of our coal... don't worry we've been picking up pace to get it done sooner.

“I hope China will step in and attempt to take the mantle away,” Perry said, according to an Associated Press report. “It would be a good challenge for them.”
China, the world’s largest emitter of climate change-causing carbon dioxide, had displayed its ambition to do just that even before Trump’s election last fall. The country has committed to reaching its peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, and shrinking emissions after that, even while continuing to grow its economy — and many analysts expect the country to reach that point even earlier. Officials said in January that China would invest more than $350 billion in domestic renewable power generation by 2020. The country will also expand a cap-and-trade program to stretch across the entire country later this year after operating it at a provincial level.
