Don't forget that they buy countless things from China, who is by a very large margin the largest polluter in the world.

I dont know why people bring this up. China has nowhere near the highest per capita pollution levels.

Per-capita can be bad and so can overall scale. It wouldn't matter if Norway was the highest per-capita because like 5 people live there.

		Per capita is worse by definition, unless your arguing that people with higher per capita emissions are somehow more valuable to society than those with lower. The other aspect is that China provides a large industrial base for the West, which is arguably the West just externalizing/offshoring their emissions anyway.
