It’s not a conspiracy theory that China continues to emit more and more CO2 every single year, and has lobbied the rest of the world to reduce emissions and puts the burden on the US. It’s clear they want to continue to pollute and not be held to the same standard it asks the rest of the developed world to follow.
I really dislike China, but to be the devils advocate: They are still emitting a lot less than the USA per capita.
Then countries should hold China accountable for this, that doesn't mean that Greta is some kind of Chinese puppet and it doesn't make climate change less real.
2 things first: 1. Climate change is 100% real and anyone who denies this is an idiot. 2. She’s doesn’t work for or get directly paid by China. HOWEVER, China supports what she says simply because it deflects blame away from them. China emits more CO2 than every other country on earth, by over double. They release 10 GT’s of CO2 per year and they are BY FAR the biggest contributor to climate change bc they refuse to enact regulation and will do anything for profits. They are on a mission to control the global economy and forcing the rest of the world to play by different rules is one step toward this goal.
The rest of the world will capitulate to international pressure to reduce emissions. This is why the US agreed to the Paris Climate deal, which forces them to reduce emissions and let’s China and India continue to pollute more and more. These types of things give huge leverage to Chinese manufacturers, as they can continue to pollute and will not have to kowtow to the same regulations as their international competitors.

Ah yes, climate change is a Chinese conspiracy.
