China has decimated almost the whole of it's coastline, air pollution so bad peopel wear masks and they of course use dirty energy.
And we've imported millions and millions of tonnes of products .. you're not making sense .. Green legislation & Climate Change legislation specifically harms only Western companies.
IMHO this is being done for the same reason we have Foreign Aid.
Oh ffs, since when did you care about air quality in China?
The Chinese were literally starving to death in the 50s, and have undergone a rapid phase of industrial and economic development. EXACTLY as we in the West have done, every man jack of us went through a period where the environment got waylaid because of the need for a drive in growth and prosperity. It will happen again and again and again in developing nations until they are wealthy enough to do something about it now they aren't dying of disease or starving to death.
The days of tonnes of heavy industry in the UK are gone. Forget it, gone. You don't have the workforce, they don't have the skills and furthermore, they don't want to do the bloody job and who can blame them? Not only that but Western labour is expensive and better done by machine.
It will happen in China as well.
