The US aggressively peruses "Free Trade" agreements on behalf of our manufacturing corporations, with the deliberate policy of only allowing tariff-free imports from nations who implement these criminal actions. (e.g. the NAFTA suit against California for banning that gasoline additive). Just trade policy would be opposite: large tariffs on countries who don't match our labor or environmental standards.

China is agreeing to play by the rules, but the US wrote the rules.

Are you suggesting that if the US's trade rules were neutral --- neither punishing nor incentivizing child labor, pollution, abuses --- China would no longer be doing these things/

That's not what he was saying at all...

You mean polluting rivers is a deliberate public policy in China? You have some proofs, I hope.

If not, your claims are just in the same vein as those a century ago telling the world about how those evil (pagan) Chinese hated babies and dropped them in the bins.

I can't tell whether you're snarkily agreeing with me or not, because female infanticide is in fact a significant problem in China.

Well, I'm not agreeing with you and other yellow peril things at all.

Was just trying to show you that since the dawn of time the "other" has been considered dangerous, evil, etc. by many people. And you reflect very well this mentality.

America kills 20%-30% of its children through abortion, including half of black children. How is this much different?

Because people get abortions for reasons other than "the child is the wrong sex".
