More than half of the population is living in an environment where sewage is not treated, an expert said.
By the end of 2005, 278 cities across the country had no sewage treatment facilities, including eight with a population of more than 500,000, Zhao Baojiang, chairman of the China association of city planning, told a recent conference on sustainable sanitation held in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
About 5,000 administrative towns and 20,000 market towns also had no sewage treatment facilities, he was quoted as saying by www.xinhuanet.com.
Water pollution is deteriorating, but orders of the State Environmental Protection Administration to reduce the pollution are being disregarded in some cities, Zhao said.”

And does anybody want to know how this affects us? Shrimp that Red China sells to us was raised in their sewage water, and finally was banned from being sold to our country.
I saw some shrimp from China myself months ago at the Supermarket, and, of course didn’t buy it, and I notified the Supermarket, and they stopped selling it (not necessarily because of me, but I’m glad they did).
