Look at China's trade history in modern times. Do you really think they will allow more US inspections on their territory, and has anyone calculated the estimated costs of enforcing US EPA standards of China's steel production techniques? Who pays for that?
What you are recommending is boycott, which will cripple the US economy, or sanctions essentially. We have all seen what economic sanctions get us, and China has an economic advantage.
So, you are saying the world has a unfair advantage over us because of the restrictions of our environmental concerns?
But isn't that what the United Nations, and other global committees, mostly funded by the USA, are tasked with ensuring fairness, and adherence, etc?
