Easy: stop buying their stuff and they'll stop producing it and shipping it over here. They can start with the nonessential consumer electronics and throwaway plastic toys and work up to the harder stuff...
Oh I'm sure China will eagerly embrace the change in the West's policy of not buying their products, Ian, especially as (in a recent post here) it was pointed out that China's goal is to increase its population's standard of living to European levels. Yes, that's bound to work.
(As an aside, I wonder how much "nonessential consumer electronics" the posters on Lifeboat News have in their homes.)
My purpose in mentioning the GB News tribe was not to promote or endorse their views but to point out that some of their reasoning makes sense in the real world and has strong appeal to many "ordinary" punters. It's far too easy to disdainfully brush aside their views as being ignorant and uninformed, and to propose glib solutions like "stop buying their [China's] products and they'll stop making them." As if that's going to work outside of a theoretical discussion divorced from reality.
You're not going to persuade most (possibly the majority) of people that climate change is the major existential problem facing humanity by dismissing what seem to them to be perfectly rational and reasonable arguments. Giving them history lessons that China was impoverished while we were busy polluting the planet in the 19th century and mainly to blame for the present calamity is a fatuous (if accurate) response that will achieve nothing. I don't know the best approach to take, but I do know having a lofty superior attitude to populist views instead of engaging with them in a serious and respectful manner ain't the answer.
