I don't think so. China has such huge pollution problems that 15-20 years from now, they'll have a GIGANTIC bill trying to take care of people affected by air and water pollution (the air is so bad the infamous December 1952 London Smog days are actually the norm in many Chinese cities).

Wait a minute....

during the Beijing Olympics, officials said that the city is prone to periods of “mist” and “fog” and “cloudiness” and “drizzle”, but they denied that there was air pollution in Beijing.

Of course, a totalitarian government can lie with impunity about any issue and not be challenged on their views.
