Actually, not so much - China is producing just under twice the amount of co2 emissions of the US, and just under 5 times the amount of pollution than the 3rd heaviest polluter, India.
They're by far the world's leading polluter. Not sure why everyone forgets this fact..
/E: Google search for proof....

Combined, the world’s two biggest polluters were responsible for almost 50 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions in 2021.www.statista.com
Right, twice the emissions, despite having four times the amount of people living in it. Likewise, China has invested quite heavily in green technology.
So yes, China has a ways to go, but it's reduced it output tremendously, unlike the United States.
