| Well well, it was about time China told us to clean our own shit. For decades we have cried out loud that China pollutes more than everyone else, but never said why. Well now we know.
Uk, in the meanwhile you are oh so so fucked. And the real brexit is only yet to come. Be prepared to hand out lots of that moneypile you have been hoarding for a long while.

| China's been preparing for a law to lock out imported garbage for a while now. What this means is that developed countries like Japan, Germany and the USA can't rely on them for recycling. At the same time, due to how quickly this law was approved, no country has had time to prepare and readjust to recycling more.
