No, all China has to do, is to emmit the same CO2/land mass as the USA (or better, as the EU).

> CO2/land mass as the USA

I'm trying, but really struggling, to understand your logic of anchoring on land area.

Can you explain why you think that's a better metric than per capita? Is it because there are climate-changing emissions that are NOT driven by humans (e.g. seasonal wildfires, volcanic eruptions, etc.)? Or is it something else?

So if they annex Mongolia and Siberia, their emissions went massively down?

Nah.
