So what? The goods get made in China because china allows them to be made with no emission/environmental/health and safety regulation.

  I think we all know how poor China was in the naughties. They needed foreign investments to enter their country. So now let's think about it: with strict regulations, would have those investors chosen China? Or do you believe that the Chinese (the people not the government) deserve to live a poor life forever?

    China was the 3rd largest economy in the world. Their middle class was fine. If they wanted to add some environmental regulation it wouldnt have halted growth.

      It is pointless to say "3rd largest" without mentioning the per capita data.

        Per captia data is not useful because they have so many people who live rural lives without tech. Their urban class was doing well and causing a ton of pollution just like the US does. They then scaled up even more in the least emission efficient ways complete disregard for the damage it would do.
