China Environmental Governance Blog reports, "A recent report on global CO2 trends done by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency for the European Commission, found that as of 2010, China’s per capita CO2 emissions are larger than France’s and Spain’s and could overtake the US by 2017 if growth doesn’t slow." But the question for me is how much of these emissions totals are from manufacturing goods destined for export to the West.

About a quarter of China’s CO2 emissions are exported as embodied in traded goods. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/03/100308151041.htm
