Ah okay. Sorry. Yes China loves to cheat regulations. Even Chinese people trust in Western products more than from their own country due to the missing transparency.

Sure, if you want to put the responsibility on consumer’s shoulders.

And if you take governmental and industrial responsibility into account, than it matters which country PRODUCES the carbon emissions. I‘m not sure, if customers ever can force Temu or Shein to force their producers to use carbon friendly processes. But the government of China can!

In a nutshell: It’s the same distracting argument as the individual carbon footprint. It’s not customers responsibility but the producer’s responsibility. The one who „owns“ the process.
