The pollution is the direct result of other countries outsourcing their manufacturing to exploit chinese labor for increased profits

The Chinese government allows this… Why is this the fault of everyone else? It’s the government’s job to regulate the industry and manage trade.

The point of this statement is not to say “nuh uh the pollution is america’s fault”, it’s to say that this manufacturing would have happened somewhere in the world regardless, and is not for domestic consumption, so it’s a bit silly to say “look china’s polluting so much” when they are producing goods for the entire world. China turning away manufacturing work to “reduce” emissions would not decrease emissions globally, if anything it would likely increase them, as few if any other countries can muster the economies of scale and wide trading relationships that chinese industry have access to
