You know all the pollution they produce from making things for the rest of the world right? If you don't want to take part in the pollution you should make everything yourself.

Besides, their pollution per capita is lower than the USA's by a substantial margin. The countries that actually pollute the most based on their population are the USA and a few Middle Eastern states that do oil refining.

The only thing that matters is the direction of the curve.

If China is increasing emissions,the world is fsck’ed. If they are decreasing, the world has a chance.

The US and EU are decreasing.

The US just outsource their pollution to places like China. That isn't decreasing that is.... outsourcing.

They make everything for the old BECAUSE they don't care about environmental regulation, so it's way cheaper for companies to outsource manufacturing to there rather than make it themselves.

Then those corps would LEAVE said nation. Corporations aren't bound to any action mind you. Any benefits they provide to said nation would be lost.

Also corruption runs rampant, so yeah. Countries don't give a single flying fuck about the environment unless it will get them enough votes to replace the bribes they would get otherwise.

You know those nations could just make that illegal right? Either way its proof that they want to manufacture goods in china so it isn't china's fault that they do.
