Thank you. I should have mentioned that as well. People think it's all about cost of labor in China and SE Asia. But it's also a lack of regulation that protects the ecology.
The USA loves to brag about how bad it was in the 70s - remember the TV adverts with the Native American and a tear in his eye? - and how well we cleaned up our act. Lol. Ohhellno. When we offshored the manufacturing, the associated pollution when with it. We didn't clean up as much as we outsourced our pollution.
Point being, when we see the photos of Beijing and the smog, that's not China's smog, we, and the rest of The West "owns" a good chunk of that smog. But the politicians and the corporate leaders aren't going to be transparent about it.
