Went to look this up, and found this site which shows China as #1: https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-per-capita/
..Because it's sorting the table by net emissions, instead of capital, despite what the title suggests
Anyways, for those interested, it's Qatar.
Canada, Australia, and the US are some of the worst offenders for large nations.
Because this does not list net emission but rather consumption per capita, it does not make sense to blame China for producing, since basically what happened is that the West outsourced its industrial sector to China, but the consumption of the Chinese production happens outside. So even though the US outsourced it to China, they are still the biggest polluters by consumption per capita.
Unless you sort by 'per capita', in which case China disappears down the table: https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-per-capita/
With the number 1 beside it
They have the #1 because the default sorting is CO2 Emissions (tons, 2016), when you change it to CO2 Emissions per capita (tons) it gets pretty low on the list but the number doesn't seem to be affected, which is bad for visualization honestly.
