      China is installing more energy production than any other country. Wind, solar, coal and nuclear. They are installing everything.

      China pollutes so much because the biggest consumer economy in the world deindustrialized and outsourced manufacturing to them.

        China pollutes so much because George HW Bush and Bill Clinton pushed American jobs to China so CEOs could make bank on huge profits on cheap labor, unsafe work places, and near zero environmental regulation that was impossible in the United States. We built China by disregarding worker rights and the environment and we are paying for it dearly.
