Only the US? are you suggesting ships from the EU and other places don't make a nice trip to china?
Let's be fair here.

With all the crap about emissions standards and recycling stateside, They need to start doing something about shipping all this sCrap to china in the first place. Yep I blame the same environmentalist that cheaply ship it to china instead of spending the proper money to have the chemicals neutralized/ recycled.

I am all for the environment. I am all for moving towards some sort of technological equilibrium. However, That will never happen until people become responsible for their own sCrap. 

I doubt people will ever become responsible though. I figure hell will freeze over first.

Since so much of the un-recyclable crap came from China in the first place they need to figure out what to do with it when it comes home. I don't have much hope in them doing anything though. 

My "made in China" IBM monitor had three parts when I called IBM. The swivel base, the power cord, the rest. It went in the trash because I could not buy the part needed to fix it, maybe it got shipped back to China.
