Your sack of potatoes and mine are 2 different sacks. My point is (and you ignored it), why aren't the Chinese accountable. Thats pollution and we get it here...... Go over there and explain it to them.
That would be like Chris Christie going there and telling them to eat less. Maybe they would find that amusing but I would not bet on it.
But you don't come back alive....
Millions of foreigners go there and come back safely. There are parts in the US I would be more concerned about my safety.

It all distills down to 'at what cost' and being an armchair examiner, you don't really have a 'real world' grasp on that, only what you read and hear not what you actuall deal with, hands on.
The real cost are the labor and material invested in a product. Those we have to weigh against the benefits like improved health. As long as the material input is similar or even less and we have unemployment we advance our well-being without giving up anything. Unemployed workers sitting at home is a real cost for society.
I read and hear lots and I take about 25% of it as truth and the rest is hogwash.
Too bad it is the wrong 25%.
