Perhaps you should research up about the Kyoto protocol? It allows developing nations to expand and contract their CO2 emissions to those of developed nations like us, who can afford to heavily invest in renewable energy.
Then perhaps you won't disingenuously present what China will do. As for the US who you dislike, be prepared for a major shift in policy towards climate change in the coming few years.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
