Plastic post blindly politicizes blame game

Although it is called Truth Social, the social media platform often fails to live up to its billing. A case in point is a recent post by the US leader in which he slammed China over pollution in the Pacific Ocean referring to it as "a gift from China".

The post included photos showing serious plastic pollution along coastlines but provided nothing to support the claim that it came from China.

To begin with, any critics of the environmental pollution or carbon emissions of developing countries, particularly those of developed economies, should recognize that the developed countries should also be held accountable for that.
