What do you mean? Both Europe and America moved industrial production to China (which was an explicit choice/policy) which as a side effect radically increased the amount of coal used to power industrial production, BUT lets Europeans and Americans both pay less (ie. make workers poorer) AND lets them claim innocence for CO2 increases, while in fact increasing their CO2 use indirectly.

Do you think that if China had isolated itself and refused all trade, it would have tried to avoid industry and emissions?

Do you think that China is controlled by its customers, making it a passive bystander in its own emissions, the agency and blame for which thus belongs to the customers?

Do you think that individuals who deliberately choose to emit less exist in significant numbers in China, or in the world, or ever might do?
