Comparing something that happened 100 years ago is not an equal comparison. The reason we have changed since the 1900s is because of horrible working conditions. The US also significantly changed in the 1970s in regards to pollution, Ohio river fire[1]. The point is we can’t allow someone to make questionable choices just because we did it 100 years ago. Especially when it’s changing the environment, it’s up to Western companies and China to make a change.

>...we can’t allow someone to make questionable choices just because we did it 100 years ago. I didn't even remotely suggest that, I said the opposite. That the real solution is to get the countries on their feet so they can run things themselves, be their own people and control their own resources. Then they can control their pollution and human rights. Until a country can stand on it's own two feet, it will be a pawn between global power brokers.
