Yay China. Say... isn't this the same country that turns out 68% of the world's air pollution?

What have they done about that?

    Yes. And the same country that produces all the shit we order from them. So is it their pollution or ours?

    Regardless who or why is to blame - the damage belongs to all of us.

    In terms of particulates? China's really cleaned that up in recent years.

    But, well, China doesn't have massive piles of natural gas it can burn instead of coal. Coal is notoriously dirty.

    They've done a lot about that, like becoming the global leader in pretty much every renewable sector as well as nuclear. Also, worth mentioning that smooth brained liberals have all their stuff produced in China. It's absolute idiocy to bleat about pollution without considering where consumption is happening. Per capita energy usage in China is far lower than in the west.

    The demand comes from people consuming the goods. I'm sorry you lack intellectual capacity to wrap your head around this concept.
