Literally only the four of them. This wasn't even just some "sign on to whatever" thing. They specifically used their "progressive" cred to attack China and promote the use of economic sanctions.

"the PRC is the largest emitter of global carbon emissions"*
*if you ignore the united states military (we do)

the fact that China manufactures a huge percentage of America's consumer goods
Um hey Mr. China, your money is doing good and we need you to stop that. Please think of the polar bears.
