Oh come on give them a break, and all their weapons are defensive too. Ask Jackie Chan. Dictatorships are the best.

Obama’s always praising the Chinese system, I guess this is just a communist form of providing free smoking to everyone.

Historically, communist nations have been the worst polluters on the planet.

This is what happens when restrictive EPA rules chase manufacturing out of our country.
Our country polluted a bit, but not near as badly as China.
So what we did was make our restrictions so tight that companies moved to places that do not restrict at all.
But the EPA knows that the air we breathe stays right above us , it doesn’t go all around the world. So China’s smog does not affect the USA, or the rest of the world./
Yes folks that is Sarcasm.
The truth is that by over restricting the pollution in the United States we simply are making matters worse for the world, by letting countries like China pollute much worse than we ever did.
We all breathe the same air, we all share in the pollution of the world when over restrict in this country we merely make matters woprse.

Thank you for making the case about why environmental regulations are needed . . . because most companies won’t do it on their own.

Our environmental regulations have exported our pollution.
Better now? I thought so.

Our environmental regulations have exported our pollution.Pretty sure greedy corporations wanting to earn more profit by cutting environmental corners exported their pollution.
But I give you +7 for finding a way to blame the US government for China's pollution problem.

Have you stopped using all of the products that are made in China and outside the USA where the company would be in violation of current EPA regulations?
Why not? Put your money where your mouth is. Or do you have clever way to rationalize it?

All that smog and China is importing contaminated food to the United States and the United States is exporting healthy food to them.
To: ksen
You are responsible for the pollution, unless you live in a solar heated cave. (That still wouldn’t absolve you.) Yet you like to whine about evil companies polluting the environment.

One of Beijing's worst rounds of air pollution kept schoolchildren indoors and sent coughing residents to hospitals, but this time something was different about the murky haze: the government's transparency in talking about it.
While welcomed by residents and environmentalists, Beijing's new openness about smog also put more pressure on the government to address underlying causes, including a lag in efforts to expand Western-style emissions limits to all of the vehicles in Beijing's notoriously thick traffic.
