their naming scheme is after dynasties (e.g. Han, Song, Tang, etc) rather than ethnicities (Han, Hui, Manchu, etc) so I guess an equivalent would be like the Seat Habsburg or something.

pretty sure figma is american
my take is that western and developed nations are just exporting all their problems to developing/manufacturing countries. it's not like europeans don't consume products that cause pollution, they just export the processes that create that pollution to other countries. if anything, europeans/americans are responsible for the majority of the pollution in china/india as a vast percentage of the goods produced end up being consumed in the western/developed nations anyway. i think europeans should feel guilty when they see the disparity in pollution- norwegian streams and beaches may be clean but they can only do that because they import their goods from factories in other countries and send their oil to be burned elsewhere.
