Good news for one of the planet's most polluting countries.

That is producing for the rest of the world and especially for the west. It’s hypocritical to blame china while buying stuff that had to be cheaper and cheaper.

The average consumer doesn't actually have a choice in the matter. Unless you are wealthy enough to purchase only local artisan made goods near everything you can afford is made in China or made in China adjacent.

Just remove "made in China" from your basket. And buy just what you need. It's my a good beginning.
