the world needs to know, this is bigger than China and their “discomfort”

  China doesn't want anyone to start following up on that line of reasoning either. A lot of problems in China are "bigger than China". I doubt they'd want us snooping around looking into the specific sources of the air pollution they spread either (https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/03/518323094/rise-in-smog-in-western-u-s-is-blamed-on-asias-air-pollution https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/03/518323094...) China's problems involving climate change, human rights, censorship, manufacturing, product/consumer safety, and the economy all have global impacts but you can bet they don't want the rest of the world at their gates wanting to "do something" about any of it.

  > this is bigger than China How sympathetic is China going to be to that argument?

    if they draw limits on cooperation with the world on such an important issue, the world should start imposing limits on cooperation with China in this and possibly other areas.

      Sounds like a good way to go broke. Good luck with that!
