which isnt particularly unique. its comparable to something like aome subset of americans getting black lung, or the health problems from the train explosion in east palestine.

it took a lot of work for environmentalists to get some regulation into the US, canda, and the EU. china will get to that eventually

It isn’t. I just bring it up to state there is a very good reason the rest of the world doesn’t just drop their regulations. In the future I imagine China may give up many of these industries and move to cleaner ones, letting someone else take the toxic manufacturing.
