China Considering Shutting Down Heavy Polluters

One of the biggest arguments against working to reduce global warming in this country has been that developing countries like China were also creating pollution. I've always thought of this as a really lame excuse, we do a lot of things that China doesn't.

In any case, the excuse my soon be thrown out the door if China implements the new pollution rules that they are considering. Under these new rules companies violating environmental regulations would have their foreign trading licenses suspended for a year or two. These companies would also be able to get their licenses back by showing that they have brought their company back into compliance of the regulations.
