They arent polluting far less than the US but it is less. Sadly this only shows 2000-2023, because that only shows Chinas major growth period where emissions went up overall. If you were to look at the last 5 years or so you would see they are actually reducing drastically and will probably never reach the pollution level of the US and keep improving much faster than the US.
I know the title says carbon tax, but there is a shit ton more pollutants than CO2. Anything done properly is doing to look at pollution. I was in Beijing once and holy fuck at the pollution.
