[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 2538829, member: 12508"] China is the dumping ground for [B]our[/B] pollution. China has no EPA, and almost no worker protections, and does everything as cheaply as possible using the cheapest, dirtiest fuel on the market...poor quality coal. They burn coal in power plants, heat their homes with it....it's everywhere. A very high percentage of our consumer goods are manufactured there, because US companies make huge profits off cheap Chinese labor and the above mentioned lack of regulations. It's actually a defacto subsidy to Americans, who buy products much more cheaply because they were not manufactured here. A lot of China's problems lie with them, but a large percentage come form our (read GOP businesses) off-shoring and out-sourcing EPA and other government regulations, bypassing them by letting China deal with it. I have spent several months in China during the last 10 years. The problem is only getting worse, as the growing Chinese middle class buys cars that add to the pollution. [/QUOTE]
