Ah but the Ozone hole is increasing again in no small thanks to China!

I don't think it's only thanks to China. I think it is thanks to the whole world, a huge chunk of big companies' manufacturing is outsourced to China.
No.
The rest of the world’s doing a great job at following through on CFC bans.
This is entirely on China and China alone. No one is forcing their factories to cut corners and use them. Just the same as plastic rice, gutter oil, poison baby formula, etc.
Wait wait wait. Plastic rice?!
I think the argument to be made is that if China is cutting these corners the rest of the world shouldn't do business with them. By choosing to use a factory that is using CFCs you are increasing demand for them.
I see, thanks
