That is unfair on China, since they manufacture lots of the dirty stuff the rest of the world outsourced on them.

Yeah very unfair for them to profit massively out of it. Using the same logic it's unfair to imprison drug dealers and manufacturers because they're just reacting to demand

It was US business who drove the outsourcing led by companies like Apple or Walmart. Otherwise each IPhone would cost 10.000 dollars...

China's most polluting industries aren't its high tech phone and car factories, which are generally fairly modern. It's the mass of mid-level factories that produce cheap items for the entire world, but predominantly for the developing world.
The idea that Chinese pollution wouldn't exist if not for Western outsourcing is a myth.

Because of opportunities created by China.
When walmart moves into a town and kills the local shops, is it Walmarts fault for bringing cheaper prices or is the locals fault for moving all their shopping to walmart?
