Our World in Data’s latest visualization is this graph of CO2 emissions by world region. If you go to the page you will find the usual high quality interactive graph with data in a excel file. You can read off the graph that in 2015 China emitted 10.23 Gt of CO2 while the U.S. emitted 5.1 Gt. On the other hand, while China emitted about twice as much CO2 their population is about four times the size of the U.S.
