Part of the reason to be critical of the US isn't just our high overall carbon emissions, but our per-capita carbon emissions. US citizens emit far more carbon per-person than Chinese people do. That is worth criticizing

Why don't you slice and dice that based on your agenda and tell us what we should conclude?
If you don't mind those numbers being normalised by population size, and CO2 emissions being used as a more relevant metric than kWh, then this chart might be helpful:

And at the end of the day, CO2 molecules have no nationality: it's why we don't waste our breath criticizing Qatar for having the world's highest emissions for capita when it produced just 0.1% the total emissions of China.
...which is why per capita is a better measure than per country. Here's a comment from a while ago that shows the math [1].
if that's the case, why do you think american citizen deserve to pollute a lot more than Chinese citizen? why would being born inside US border somehow makes it ok to pollute more than if you were born inside china
By your logic, if China were to split in 150 small countries, they could pollute as much as they like because technically each of them would be low on the list of highest emitter.
