This is flat out false. > Which totally isn't in large parts due to the whole West exporting their trash there for years for "recycling", fully aware of the fact they just dump it in the ocean or burn it under the bare sky There was /not/ much awareness about this in the West. People would not be so good about recycling if there was, as people generally thought they were doing a good thing by recycling and wouldn’t have bothered otherwise(at least in my experience). And nothing excuses fraud, which is what it’s called when you lie about what you are doing. China committed fraud in the recycling business and that’s not okay, no buts about it. The Chinese “took our jobs” by not following the rules we have about how those jobs should be done. We should have tariffed them for not living up to our Environmental and Occupational Safety standards, if our government was principled in its ethics. It’s not the corporation’s fault the US government is cool with externalities in other countries.
