In 2021, China updated its nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, which prompts a more accurate measurement of its emissions inventory and a reasonable pathway toward carbon neutrality by 2060. This study reviews the estimates using the bottom-up emissions factor metho...
