How much of the China's footprint is generated for manufacturing stuff for the developed nations?

We may have 100% clean energy locally only because we've outsourced the dirty one.

We have outsourced it because they have been undercutting local producers in pollution, labor, human rights standards. Therefore bringing back manufacturing and taxing them is a much better solution overall than bringing more extreme measures to our already pretty "green" region.

Wicked consumers! Doubtless Chinese factory workers will find alternative employment in the fields should the need arise.
