China is producing more CO2 in a week than many more countries in a year. Same with coal production.
They also build many new coal plants (together with atomic ones).
China should be first place to address emission.
From here it's easily seen that An individual in the US is on average one of the worst offenders while an individual from China is doing extremely well.
You're right. We should be glad it's centrally controlled. If business interests in china were able to insert their own democratic opinion into the debate the problem would be much worse.
It begs the question how good is democracy when huge powerful corporate entities with only business interests in mind are able to participate in a democracy? There's no clear answer here.

Well, yeah, China is more than 52 times the population of many other countries, so that's hardly surprising.
