...tragic but what brought the sudden attention to China?
Usually we have people endlessly focusing on America.
...has the US finally become boring to everyone else? 😱

That's terrible, I feel sorry for the people there.

Most people contribute to this global issue imo. As long as people around the world want to buy things for cheap (relative to our wages) from Walmart/Dollar Stores, to electronics, China and other countries like it will remain the sweatshops of the world. We have moved our manufacturing to poorer/less developed countries and with it, our pollution. Out of sight, out of mind, but then we criticize them for polluting... seems hypocritical to me. If you look at who pollutes the most per capita, it is probably still the U.S.
