(I don’t.)

I only care about saving the planet, and part of that effort is seeing that clean energy technologies are deployed ASAP. If China deploys them faster than we do, well, that’s embarrassing, but I’m OK with that. Due to our relative populations, China’s net production of CO₂ is currently somewhat higher than ours.

Our increased use of Solar PV is thanks (in large part) to Chinese advancement of low-cost PV. Annoying? Yes. Embarrassing? Yes.

Get over it.
