Disingenuous. Here is the correct chart to link if you want to assert emissions by country: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-co2-emissions-per-...

How does that make sense? The US reduced their emissions by shifting production to China, and China gladly lapped it up (in massive amounts).

It would be good to have a graph showing where the ultimate products of these emissions ended up.

You will notice that the picture does not change radically if you include emissions from trade (which is what you were asking).

Turns out while China expects a lot of stuff to the us, it doesn’t have that big of an impact on net emissions.

This graph isn’t telling the history you think it does…

China’s population is 4x times the US, and still, total emissions are a little over 2x — and that’s ignoring the outsized impact from exported goods.
