Naming and Shaming China Over the Environment

In "China’s Environmental Abuses Fact Sheet," published in September, the U.S. State Department catalogs what it says are environmentally ruinous Chinese policies and practices. Among the targets are China's world-leading emissions of greenhouse gases; its marine debris; manipulation of Mekong River flows; illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing; consumption of trafficked wildlife and timber; and the unsustainable exploitation of natural resources in developing countries through the One Belt One Road infrastructure initiative.
