Simpler is to return production to countries that have proper environmental regulations. Right now we outsource pollution production to China.

Really, moving a supplychain is easier than punitive tariffs/sanctions?

Requiring companies to not do business in countries (or use specific industries in those countries) based on some specific goal is a form of sanctions.

"International" sanctions by whom? Most of china's pollution is manufacturing for the west.

The biggest polluters ( in total and per capita ) in the world today are still europe and the US.

Almost all the pollution and environmental destruction the past 200 years were by europe and the US. Should there be "international" sanctions on us?

There ain't no saints this world. And those who claim to be saints are the worst villains.
