China moving away from the dollar

[August]

Environmental regulations (or lack thereof) have a lot to do with it too. It's a lot cheaper to produce things when you don't have to pay to safely dispose of the resulting toxic waste.

I think we should apply tariffs to goods that come from countries that have less restrictive green laws than ours.

Quite a lot of money made in shipping waste to less-developed countries.

Helps Western governments achieve their environmental targets, I guess.

Sigh

I think that would be a good idea.

But again, that is against the laws of capitalism.
