>biggest source
This is an obvious jab at China however
1) China is a developing country and still growing while Western countries are not meaning that production there is ramping up.
2) China has actively been the area of most Western outsourcing of industry and this has only changed recently to other countries like India (in other words the pollution of the West has been moved to another country but the pollution itself is caused by private property owned by Western States and their companies)Β
3) The USA, EU and India all produce nearly the same amount of pollution as China, and collectively produce more than China
4) China annually plants over 60,000 trees to counter pollution which has lowered smog and CO2 levels in their cities drastically
5) China is the largest source of electric car production on earth at 1 million units annually and growing
6) China's most recent attempt at accessing resources for environmentally more effective materials like Lithium has been compromised by US economic sanctions and international meddling in Hong Kong (a port city) and in Bolivia (the largest known source of Lithium in the world and a BRICS partner)Β
Business does not care about Pollution and health violations as has been proven time and again by history. Standing Rock and Flint Michigan as well as many other examples exist today and there are many prior examples. You can dislike or like socialism, that's your problem but don't make shit up.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of pollution comes from non Western countries. You know, the ones that complain about it the most and have strict regulations for industry?

Western countries have leveled out because they are done developing. Moreover they outsource their industries to thoe very same non-Western countries. Also even today Western countries make up the majority of pollution especially in terms of plastic and CO2.Β
