A single volcanic eruption in 2018 put more “greenhouse gases” into the atmosphere than the entire year of Chinese emissions.

Not true, even if you count water vapor as part of the "greenhouse gases". Mainly because water vapor from evaporation is many orders of magnitude higher than volcanoes and there volcanic water vapor doesn't matter.

For comparison, the huge Pinatubo eruption put out 42 Mt CO2 http://pubs.usgs.gov/pinatubo/gerlach/ China's CO2 was 11 Gt in 2017.

6(?) years ago, Chinese emissions of CO2 from abandoned burning coal mines was more than all of the emissions of USA’s cars and trucks.
