This shows that data can be very misleading. Both India and China have huge rural subsistence farming populations that produce virtually no emissions

    Yes, and yet the difference between them is a factor of 4.

    Now, I don't know this source. And I'm always sceptical of infographics. Does this include the fact that many other countries have their manufacturing in China?

    I think this is probably a case where the median gives a far more complete picture than the average.
