The whole climate change as a Chinese hoax, came about because of a tweet he sent out. Tweets don't allow any space for nuance, and he was trying to be outrageous. His actual tweet said

The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.
He could well have said that climate change policies have benefited the Chinese so, climate change may well have been something invented by the Chinese to benefit themselves. And this statement would have been true. The climate change policies have disproportionately affected US. China and other "developing nations have been exempted from many of those policies. This has resulted in industries in China having almost no environmental safeguards. Unless climate change policies are made universal, it will only result in economic activity shifting to the countries having the least environmental safeguards.
Pace and lead.
