If you really cared about Chinese people you'd let them in when they asked to immigrate here. That's enough conflating the protection of toxic industry with humanitarian concern.

this seems to have an a lot packed in. it's not clear how advocating the departure of a minuscule amount of people from china is "helping chinese people" or otherwise demonstrating "care for chinese people".
It was the first of any American immigration laws to mention any nationality by name. The laws that replaced it subject countries like China to quotas that continue to unfairly restrict migration.
These restrictive laws have roots in the same petty nationalism that fuels protectionist subsudies.
These laws prevent kids - the kids that you claim to care about - from having a better future elsewhere.
Most Chinese people lack the freedom to live and work where they choose. Most Americans have that freedom.
So if it is handled here in the US then not only will there be less pollution but far fewer kids would be impacted.
