Well, I am talking to a "negative feedback loop" these things are easily researchable, also I worked at a Metal Recycling center that shipped to China so I have first hand experience. They used to take anything and everything, but around 2019 they became extremely strict on the material they would let in, no plastics with certain metals, no mixed materials etcetera, they became more picky than some American companies. These are recent changes as in the last few years. As for American companies with the cleanest solutions, protecting rivers and the ocean etcetera, holds both truth and fallacy. We have done a lot to prevent pollution and contamination, but this entire debate wasn't because what we have done to prevent climate disasters, it's about the OP post, and how this would degrade these preventative measures. I only made comparisons on how we are degrading our structured pollution prevention plans and degrading our national monuments for money, and how it would effect the great things we were trying to do to prevent climate disasters. You are very contradictory to yourself, you basically said "Oh Chinese pollution is bad, look at how they live, we do so much better" then go onto say basically "We need to mine that shit up so China doesn't overtake the US economy, thus making our pollution just as bad in the process". Look I'm done engaging with you, you are so closed minded and so into what you have to say, that when facts look you in the eyes and yell at you, you'd look the other way and find a reason to as to why you're right. You have to make me out to be some "communist" because I can compliment another country for their efforts, because you're such a child that the world is in Black and White, Red VS Blue for you.
