By that logic, pollution in the US is also the property of all the countries that the US sells to. That pollution in Flint Michigan is the rest of the world's fault because they buy US cars.

Fault? That's not the right word.

Regardless, the point is, China's env regs are MUCH more lax. So chances are good Product X made in the USA was made with less pollution than the same product made in China.

Yes, pollution is a shared "resources." But some countries are less concerned than others. China is one of those coutries.
