You're not allowed to protest in the west because China pollutes more, and you aren't allowed to protest China because you're a westerner and should stay in your line.
Very conveniently you're allowed to protest alone in your home, as long as noone will see you.

Also you as the consumer did climate change. Those in power were just following the market so it's basically your fault cause you used some energy and plastic sometimes.

China uses 1/3 of the energy per capita compared to the US. They have far more people.
