87% of Chinese emissions are attributable to domestic consumption. The remaining 13 % is the rest of the world, not just the West. So it doesn’t seem like what you’re saying is accurate.

[1] seems to imply it is context dependent. China is shown to be an insourcer of emissions while the trend of many Western countries (except some Nordic ones) is outsourcing emissions.

“Taken as a collective, developed countries are found to be outsourcing emissions to developed economies; however, this is largely due to the U.S. and China”
