Answer 1

Because the U.S. has become obsessed with political correctness to the point where singling out a person with an extreme social agenda is bad juju.  China is oppressively controlling and would rather jail you for life than allow you to make them look bad, so the country with freedom of speech is naturally more targeted.  It's ironic, but it's who we are.

Answer 2

China will lock them up, execute them and sell their kidneys for transplants.   That is my guess.

If you look at most the environmentalist you will notice that they are socialist / Communist and China is their dream.   They hate the USA and our free enterprise system.

The Communist say that big business exploits the worker, but in their world it is okay for government to exploit the worker.

Answer 3

Because China is already a communist nation, so it already meets their standards and vision. The US still has an election and a few more tweeks to get there.

Answer 4

because the USA cartels are making $$$$$ and wont allow any laws on thier exploitation of cheap labor...half the metal decorative objects from china are pieces of the worl trade towers that Bush shipped ourt of the USA so quickly...and metal from car wrecks...on top of every dish they make having poison lead glazes...the bosses of this scam shud be tried and mutilated then buried alive at high tide

Answer 5

The United States, Great Britain, and Israel seem to be held to a higher standard of behavior.  Probably we should think of this a a compliment.  It is, isn't it, a way of acknowledging that we hold ourselves to a higher standard of behavior?

Answer 6

they know this is a waste of time and effort.

Answer 7

Because they are our factory state.  Without China we would all go barefoot and naked.

Answer 8

Because the Chinese don't understand "English" (ESPECIALLY when the Country speaking it- is responsible for 25% of the World's Polution all by Itself!).  :0

Answer 9

because the chinese make everything and one embargo will disrupt almost every countries economy. Also because they make just about everything, that is the reason there are a lot of factories burning fossil fuels. If they close down, countries will no longer have their source of cheap goods.

Answer 10

They are scared to shake things up

Answer 11

Because they hate the US and want to do whatever they can to make us less competitive with the rest of the world.

Answer 12

Because marxists have usurped the environmentalist movement. They use it to hide behind as they seek to destroy anything that smacks of capitalism. They can advocate for redistributing wealth under the guise of protecting the environment, when in reality  they simply want to destroy industry. Since China is basically communist, they look the other way.
