Chinese per-capita emissions have peaked at lower level than US and are already falling.

According to whom?
Per capita is not a useful metric in this measurement. Why is that such a theme?
Bruh, When there's no data, you ask, "According to whom?" When you have data, you ask, "Why is that such a theme?"
...why wouldn't it be? Who cares if e.g. Greenland has near-zero total emissions if nearly nobody lives there? Emissions are a cost of human existence, of course absolute emissions should scale with population.
