    Have those emissions results been verified by an independent third party?

    I agree that at least on paper China is taking much stronger action than many other countries.

      The analysis was done by an independent third party:

      Emissions from the world’s most polluting country have rebounded this year after the Chinese government dropped its Covid restrictions in January, according to analysis undertaken for Carbon Brief.

      Furthermore, I’m not sure what basis there is for being skeptical here. It’s universally acknowledged that China has created massive renewable infrastructure, and it follows that as clean energy production increases the emissions would fall.
