Given that US emissions are more than double China's per capita, I only have to believe that China's numbers have less than a 100% error.

Satellite monitoring of CO2 emissions has a pretty wide error bar, but it's not that wide.

Additionally it just simply makes sense since anecdotally we are aware that many chinese live in extremely rural situations with no heating/cooling, or live in dense buildings with shared resources.

These things cost money, and the median Chinese consumer does not have the budget for these items.
