That's just bog standard western sour grapes. "Well, they might be literally the best in the world at this, but they aren't perfect, so we should ignore their successes and chastise them for not reaching hypothetical perfection."

I imagine China's plan to reach their goal by 2060 has a lot to do with increasing the rate of renewable energy rollouts overtime, exponentially increasing the speed that they develop and install renewables. Also, unlike western nation, they don't count companies doing "carbon offsets" as being carbon neutral, because it isn't, it's just pushing the problem onto other nations, something the west is a master at.
