Their national economic strategy (with all the incentives derived from that) is to drive economic expansion such that the rest of the world is dependent on China for both finished goods and key ingredients. Pollution and Global Warming aren't things they give a rip about.

I recall the conservative populist argumentation on TMF as big box stores drove mom n' pop stores out of business.

They defended the cheap imports as beneficial to the workin' man who otherwise couldn't afford the low price crap the big box stores imported. Good for the workin' man, good for America. Not so good for the planet. Whoops.
