I wasn’t implying the inverse. But no, China does not have the same massive military as the US, nor is it as spread across the globe.
In the next year or two China will take second place for total historic CO2 emissions, taking that place over from Europe. It's emissions per capital overtook Europe several years ago and it has 6x the people. If the rest of the world hits zero tomorrow, Chinas emissions are still too high.

This is the important graph from the Carbon budget presentation. The difference between USA and China is about 1.5 Billion tons of CO2.
That news story on the US military cites a report with this graph in it. The total emission of the whole DoD is 60 million tons of CO2.
It doesn't make a dent.
