Profit while improving global air quality. The people of China don’t care about their air quality? They won’t also hit a breaking point? The argument of “wait until the biggest culprit blinks” is so frustrating.

China cannot realize their growth ambitions without using massive amounts of dirty energy they've admitted this. And if you accept that we are facing a climate catastrophe then not having China clean up their act makes stopping the apparent impending doom much less likely or impossible. Also, the demand for goods made in China is not going away you are I are partially responsible for China belching out pollution.
You really want China to cut down on emissions? Stop buying electronics, household products, auto parts and dozens of other things.
That's not to say we should give up, but it brings us back to what exactly is the plan. So far there doesn't seem to be one beyond the sky is falling do something.
