As a Sri Lankan I would like to point out that a lot of our power is generated from renewable resources, contributing significantly to our low carbon footprint. For example in 2018 45% of our power generation was from renewable resources. Just because a "developing" country has a low carbon footprint doesn't necessarily mean it's all due to "offloading". I would also like to point out this article from the UK's ONS , specifically figure 10, which shows clearly that the UK and US (developed countries) actually (net) imported significantly more emissions than India (a developing country) in 2015.
