Those nations still are at the top. You just showed it. Right behind China. Top 5 regions and countries are all those who have been there for decades. Also, China is at the very top because those developed nations moved production offshore to cheaper area with less regulation. If that were attributed to them, they would have a worse performance than they already do.

Just look at plastic pollution. Western countries point a countries in East Asia and tell them to stop polluting while exporting plastic waste there. Creating a problem elsewhere and then going "wow, look at the problems in your country, why don't you solve them?"
