Is college worth it anymore?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is college worth it anymore?". Your opponent's style: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

The People’s Republic of China should substantially reduce its international extraction of natural resources.

You're framing this as an ethical imperative, but that's naive. China extracts resources because it *works*—it's economically rational and legal under international law. Why should it voluntarily handicap itself when competitors won't? The real question you're avoiding: what's the enforcement mechanism? Moral appeals don't move geopolitics. If you want resource extraction reduced, you need binding treaties with teeth, not vague calls for "substantial reduction." Until then, expecting China to sacrifice growth for principles every other nation ignores is asking for unilateral disarmament. What's your actual lever here?
