Should they be under international sanctions for polluting our commons and destrying the planet?
- llukas 7y agoSimpler is to return production to countries that have proper environmental regulations. Right now we outsource pollution production to China.
- internet_user 7y agoReally, moving a supplychain is easier than punitive tariffs/sanctions?
- kbenson 7y agoRequiring companies to not do business in countries (or use specific industries in those countries) based on some specific goal is a form of sanctions.
- whoevercares 7y agoUS was shipping most of its garbage to China for years until China stopped accepting it not too long ago. Millions of people in China had suffered from the pollutions of those imported garbages(there’s a documentary about this). Who’s at the moral high ground here?
- anthuman 7y ago"International" sanctions by whom? Most of china's pollution is manufacturing for the west. The biggest polluters ( in total and per capita ) in the world today are still europe and the US. Almost all the pollution and environmental destruction the past 200 years were by europe and the US. Should there be "international" sanctions on us? There ain't no saints this world. And those who claim to be saints are the worst villains.
