Comment on Rule-based/Ends-based Morality in China/Darfur Trade by dgeraghty

NOt only is it immoral for China to sell arms to the Sudanese government because they are fueling genocide in darfur but it is also immoral for China to sell arms to the Sudanese government in exchange for oil because they are fueling their extreme increase in air pollution. On both sides, this exchange is morally reprehensible. China, in getting oil by fueling genocide, is contributing to international climate change and global warming not to mention decreasing air quality that is already horrendous. So therefore, an ends based take on morality could not even justify this situation because inevitably this exchange will cause huge problems in the future.
