When did China become a "garbage dump" for foreigners?
Western countries are experiencing the troubles of "garbage siege", and in order to solve their own problems, they use China as a "garbage recycling station" of the West.
Since we opened the country, "foreign garbage" has quietly come in, these foreign garbage is extremely smelly, and the eggs are seriously mildewed.
In fact, these foreign garbage were originally imported by the mainland on its own initiative, and when the mainland took the lead in refusing to accept foreign garbage, it caused the United States and Europe and other developed countries to complain again and again!
Why does China take the initiative to import foreign garbage? When the mainland says "no" to foreign garbage, why is the "foreign garbage" that frequently swipes the screen still repeatedly banned?

China imports "foreign garbage"
In the drama "Beijinger in New York", the plot of picking up furniture on the streets of the United States is shocking, and furniture and household appliances can be picked up in the United States!
These are actually some electrical appliances that Americans don't want, which is what we call "foreign garbage", which mainly refers to all solid waste entering China from abroad.
Foreign garbage is a serious pollution for any country, and some industrial solid wastes containing heavy metals also have great harm to people.
Even so, the mainland chose to take the initiative to import foreign garbage at the beginning, and even collected it for decades.
A few decades ago, one of the major problems faced by developed countries was that they were full of garbage, and they didn't want to spend money on it themselves, so they simply shipped it to developing countries.
At that time, China was in the development stage, and there was a shortage of raw materials such as various metals, and it was expensive to import, and these "foreign garbage" became the first choice of the mainland.
The foreign garbage that the West does not want can be extracted from all kinds of raw materials that we need, and many furniture can even be refurbished and reused.
But in fact, it was a helpless move for China to take the initiative to import foreign garbage, and at that time, in order to develop as soon as possible, we had to import these foreign garbage with secondary use value.
At that time, Guangdong, Zhejiang, etc., which had been affected by the reform and opening up and developed rapidly, were all major importers of foreign garbage, and even foreign garbage became a "sweet spot" in the eyes of major enterprises.
In those decades, the import volume of "foreign garbage" has continued unabated, so what has this "foreign garbage" brought to China? After China refuses to accept foreign garbage, how does the West complain?
China takes the lead in rejecting "foreign garbage"
In order to obtain cheap raw materials, the mainland chose to open up the import of "foreign garbage", and since that time, the United States has sold millions of tons of plastic waste to China.
Even around the world, about 70% of plastic waste is "taken" by China, about 7 million tons a year, but the "worry-free days" of the West are gone.
Because of the large import of foreign garbage, although China has been able to develop, former giants such as Huaqiangbei are also born in the legend of "foreign garbage".
But this garbage has also brought endless troubles to the mainland......
In the early days, China's per capita garbage production was very small, and even if some foreign garbage was imported, the mainland's environment could purify it by itself, but with the increasing amount of foreign garbage, the mainland's environment began to be unbearable.
When we smelt and extract raw materials that can be reused, these foreign garbage will produce a large amount of waste gas and even toxic gases, and landfills will also pollute the soil and water sources, and the people will suffer from various diseases.
In addition, a large amount of imported foreign garbage will also make countless low-end products emerge in an endless stream, and we will not be able to manufacture high-end products that belong to us, which will seriously affect the economic development of the mainland.
In order to completely change this situation, the mainland decided to close the door to "foreign garbage" forever, and this move also made the West almost collapse.
China is no longer collecting waste plastics, and more developing countries are following suit, where can their garbage go?
With China's refusal to accept foreign garbage, Western countries led by the United States are once again facing the crisis of "garbage siege", they have been relying on importing garbage into China, but have never improved their garbage recycling capacity.
Even because of China's refusal to accept foreign garbage, the global waste market has begun to become volatile, and countless Western countries are facing a "crisis" caused by garbage.
Just one year after the ban was enacted, China's plastic imports fell by 99 percent, and Western countries even blamed China for their own crisis.
But compared with the vast majority of countries and netizens in the world, they all support China's approach, but even if China completely bans the import of foreign garbage, why do there still fish that slip through the net enter China?
Why is foreign garbage repeatedly banned?
On July 2 this year, when customs officials in Dongdu inspected a batch of imported dried shrimp shells, they found that the goods were actually composed of shrimp heads and fragmented shrimp shells.
It is accompanied by a monstrous fishy smell, and most of the shrimp shells have developed serious mildew, and even carry many insect eggs.
From this, it can be determined that this batch of up to 51 tons of goods is actually the foreign garbage that the West has secretly "stuffed" into China, and this is not the first time that foreign garbage has been found sneaking in.
Over the years, mainland customs have seized foreign garbage from the West many times, in addition to shrimp shells this time, there are also discarded clothes, leather and other leftovers in the past.
The mainland prohibits foreign garbage, but there are still many fish that slip through the net, and in the final analysis, there are still some unscrupulous businessmen who want to make a profit from it.
However, the mainland's development now does not need to rely on these foreign garbage at all, and even these garbage will hinder the development of the mainland and affect the mainland's ecology, so in order to further crack down on foreign garbage, the mainland's "mouth" for imported foreign garbage is tightening more and more.
The mainland has also promulgated many relevant laws and regulations to strictly crack down on this illegal smuggling of foreign garbage into the country, and although the situation of smuggling imported foreign garbage still exists, there has been a marked improvement compared with previous years.
As the mainland's punishment for foreign garbage smuggling becomes more and more severe, the inspection process of customs and other relevant departments has become more stringent, and it is believed that in the near future, foreign garbage will be completely eliminated from the country.
Today, China has already become the world's second largest economy, and we have long been able to develop ourselves and even help other countries in the world with our own strength.
The import of foreign garbage has long been a thing of the past, and from the moment we announced a total ban on foreign garbage, we have already announced the end of the past era, and the beginning of a new era that belongs to us is more powerful.
