Yay China. Say... isn't this the same country that turns out 68% of the world's air pollution?

What have they done about that?

wow lemmy is full of liberals

Ya think maybe producing most of the world's shit has anything to do with that pollution, buddy? Like wow the west outsourced most of its manufacturing to China, no fucking shit it's going to produce more pollution. What's their per capita #s look like, frienderino?
