When your hands are always clean, it only means that someone else is doing all your dirty works for you.

I paid this unemployed guy to clean my house every week. The house had asbestos, but he cleaned it and got sick anyway because he needed the money. One week, he got a decent desk job and said he didn't want to clean my house anymore. Why is he ruining the cleanliness of my house?

West: Give workers better working conditions! Also West: What do you mean you will stop sorting our garbage with cheap labor!?

The title is pretty misleading

Nothing wrong in China stopping import of waste when it has it's own enough waste.

I was chairman of a national recycling association for several years from 2009 on. I have also built and run one of the state of the art optical sorting MRF plants. China allowed recycling to explode world wide, however recyclers recognised the Chinese would someday close their doors. Despite lobbying our councils and government 10 years ago to develop industries that can process the collected packaging we were ignored. Ideallists demanded 100% recycling efficiency from such systems, blocking progress even if 95% was achieved. Misguided people who treat their environmental views as a belief structure, like a religion, continuously disbelieve hard factual evidence because it does not suit the narrative. As a result, world wide, progress is roadblocked by well intentioned passionate people who want perfection rather than, what can be done right now.

Canada introduces initiatives to reduce waste Also Canada: Tries to dump waste in Phillipines but is forced to accept it back

Reporters (10 years ago): China is the most polluted country in the world. Reporters (now): China refuses to take more trashes!

Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payouts, with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works..

Why is it up to the consumer to be the responsible ones to recycle? I say it's also on the companies that profit from selling products that can be recycled. These companies should fork up some capital to find solutions to the waste problem.

Wow. This video is 2 years late, with a misleading title and from a pretty weird perspective. You don't have to read a lot to reach the idea that the Chinese people were indeed suffering from this thrash trade, and now many citizens of other countries will suffer if it is not implemented properly (a very difficult thing to do). I really expected more from this channel, but it seems like every video that involves China comes from a limited, maybe too American perspective.

7/26/19 I beg your pardon ! China did not kill “Global Recycling “ ! In fact, China has most strict rules on recycling own waste. In order to improve China’s environment, China must stop accepting waste from other countries ! I am sure that every country has the ability and responsibility to process his own waste !

The video was really good, but the plug was even better! Smooth!!😂

So nice of you to conveniently omit footage of the disgusting, dirty, polluting and sometimes illegal MRF's set up in Malaysia, Thailand and other dumping grounds in lesser developed countries like Guatemala, India etc.

Wait so isn’t China making the world better because now the world have to think of solutions like what Canada or Vietnam did Edit: Ok after a few weeks and checking back in and HOW I GOT 500 LIKES AND LIKE SO MANY COMMENTS, REEEEE.

it's kinda funny how big countries shaking each other's hand while also pointing gun to each other

Recycling is big business and hope all western countries import waste products and rubbish from developing countries !
