They are not people whose problems keep me up at night, but they will certainly suffer the consequences along with everybody else if we do not make environmental concerns a major component in our trade policies. .
And how do you propose getting China to go along with that?
While the US must naturally require environmental action in any deal it makes with developing countries such as the CCP-PRC economy the current primitive attitudes of the White House toward the environment can be overlooked somewhat concerning Beijing.
It was back in 2010 the then president of the CCP-PRC Hu Jintao had to get the Politburo and Central Committee that runs the government to allow the prolific spontaneous and unauthorized public demonstrations that had been occurring throughout developed China that to the present demand environmental cleanup and immediate action. Because of public widespread demand Beijing is on it big time to clean up its grotesquely fouled land, air, water because the population is furious about it.
It's grim when at high noon you in your city can't see the sun through the black air that you have to breathe. Every drop of water needs to be boiled or else to you and your family. Arable land is down to something like 8% percent last time I looked just a while ago.
In my working and living in the CCP-PRC I see environmental projects everywhere I go. I get introduced to so and so Yuppie guy or gal who's working on this or that environmental project to include the one going on a couple of blocks up the road.
The US in every deal and agreement it makes with the CCP-PRC should be complementing this big time too but it's not and it never does when a Republican is Potus. It always does this when a Democrat is Potus. This seems to be a law of nature in USA politics and government.
