I haven't done the math but I would expect that more than all of China's decline is due to two effects:

population aging -- older people use less fossil fuel.

reduced household formation, in part driven by increased youth unemployment. It's impossible to get figures for this.

I agree with you. You clearly haven’t done the math.

U.S. Emissions Rise 4.2%, China's Fall 2.7%
