Not only is the world flooded by cheap chinese crap. They also give the world a nice dose of carcinogenic particles. With no pollution controls on their energy and junk they produce, all that polluted air blows to the USA and around the world.
Other countries have been worried about the West's and especially the US' emission levels for decades and we didn't give a damn about their concerns.
What goes around comes around...
Bring manufacturing back to the USA where we have more environmental regulation and we actually can do something effectual about the pollution while simultaneously rescuing our own economy. Instead Progressive policies (NAFTA, WTO, EPA, etc...) have been to drive industry out of the US to countries where they are free to pollute more, not less.
And let's not forget that China also supplies us with a lot of precious metals that we use in everything from electronics to much of the chemistry that runs our daily lives. Purifying precious metals from raw ores is extremely dirty and environmentally damaging.

So you're against free trade now? Ever studied any economics? Didn't think so.
I think the young people of China are well aware of the pollution problems and I believe that in the future China will try to find ways to reduction its pollution.
