This just tells me that Red China is willing to destroy their own turf to get to ours.

Why do I think this story is not accurate?

I'm inclined to think there are huge fudge factors in guestimates of rural income in China.

Just when you think you've got troubles, you come across something like this. Gives one some perspective.

Isn't China (as well as India) exempt from the "Kyoto Accord"?

Yes. This is one reason why ratifying it would have done no good. The worst offenders were exempt.

Communism pollutes everything it touches.

Yes, they seem to blame it mostly on the business' or corporations, but not the Communist government that has everything in a stranglehold. The times makes me sick.

So much for the Communist Party's worker paradise.

Communist/anti-capitalist countries have the worst enviormental record in the world. This doesn't happen in capitalist countries.

Whenever I hear a greenie in the US whine about us, I think about China. The US IS not the problem. China and India are belching the most filth into the sky. The USA has long since added the neccessary filters.

Which is one more reason why manufacturers like to relocate to China and other third world locations -- they can pollute to their heart's content, the locals can die in droves and nothing will be done about it.

Russia did the same. Vast areas are off limits and will be for ages because of radiation and other pollution.

Well when China pollutes it's water it's going to have to annex more land and water that's clean. I suspect China will be looking to expand in the near future.

This is NOT pollution. This a temporary dislocation of resources, an unfortunate byproduct of the glorious advance of the triumphant people's republic. A small price to pay for socialist justice and equality.

Now, if it was some private enterprise involved in even a speck of all this, you bet there'd be hell to pay.

I could only read part of the article. I couldn't stand it. Those poor, poor people. One poster suggested that environmentalist wackos take on China. Good solution - if they want a bad environment to fix, they should be getting upset about China.

I wish Bush would stop the favorite status of China. The Communist Gov't is evil and I hope to see some change in my lifetime.

Where are America's environmental wackos? This seems right up their alley.

America's environmental wackos are busy attending MoveOn.org events, canvassing neighborhoods for Kerry, and spray painting "F*** BU$H" in public places. Unfortunately, protesting the real environmental nightmare, China, is not high on their list. Environmentalist groups don't find whining about China to be a good sob story to sing to their contributors. It is much easier to tell the ignorant massess that Big Oil is the root of all environmental evil.
