- China, mainland
- Eastern Europe
How they compare
China, mainland currently reports 858,014 kt against 281,618 kt in Eastern Europe, a difference of 576,396 kt.
That makes China, mainland's figure about 3.0 times Eastern Europe's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Eastern Europe ahead.
China, mainland ranks 3rd and Eastern Europe ranks 10th of 222 countries.
Across the 4 decades both report, China, mainland averaged higher in 3 and Eastern Europe in 1.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions from Pre- and post- agricultural production includes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and related activity data, generated from pre- and post-agriculture production stages of the agri-food systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and CO2 equivalent (CO2eq) emissions from the above activities as well as the aggregate fluorinated gases (F-gases) emissions. Estimates are available by country, with global coverage and are updated annually.The FAOSTAT domain disseminates information estimates of CH4, N2O, CO2 emissions, F-gases, their aggregates in CO2eq in units of kilotonnes (kt, or 10^6 kg), and the underlying activity data. CO2eq emissions are computed by using the IPCC Fifth Assessment report global warming potentials, AR5 (IPCC, 2014). Data are available for most countries and territories, for standard FAOSTAT regional aggregations, and for Annex I and non-Annex I country groups.
