Yes, in terms of actually solving the problem, we should also see where China's customers/influencers come from. Countries can (and do) demand that other countries have certain working standards and regulations. On pain of tariff or sanction.

A lot of my goods come from basically slave labor and polluters. They have a competitive advantage over companies who don't, so garbage floats and takes over. Countries are complicit when they support or benefit from other countries which do this.



Extremely insightful. The blame is on all of us, even if the pollution did in fact leak from China (fact about which we have no clue about yet).

This is exactly the sort of thing where we're all in it, hands dirtied, want it or not.
