2013 global CO2 rose to new record of 35.3 billion tons. China emitted 10.3 billion tons, almost a third of the global total:

p. 4, "Summary:" "Global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion and from industrial processes (cement and metal production) increased in 2013 to the new record of 35.3 billion tonnes (Gt) CO2, which is 0.7 Gt higher than last year’s record."... 

p. 4, paragraph 3: "China (10.3 billion tonnes CO2 or 29%), the United States (5.3 billion tonnes CO2 or 15%) and the European Union (EU28) (3.7 billion tonnes CO2 or 11%). China increased its CO2 emissions by 4.2% in 2013."...

"In contrast to the previous IPCC assessment report published seven years ago, presently emerging economies and developing countries in general now have a share of more than 50% in current global greenhouse gas emissions and in their annual increase."...
