  2. Yeah, yeah. PVC manufacturing, the CCP has owned that one. The CCP has flooded the world recently with EVs, but that project has come to a shuddering halt. Protectionism and tarrif increases by EU and Japanese governments to protect their car manufacturers have slowed exports of EVs from China. Plus the CCP have run out of money for reverse tarrifs on EVs to export. It seems that PVC has gone the same way.

  3. HCl is not all that bad, but it's a mineral acid that transports heavy metals. PVCs require toxic and carcinogenic selinium and cadmium as a component of the doped silicon wafer. Additionally, lead in the electronics solder. PVC waste disposal is particularly harmful to the environment if not done properly. The CCP does not regulate recycling properly, so waste or deplated PVC will pollute soils, surface and ground water in China.
