An official Chinese report confirms the Communist nation has managed to foul 70% of its waterways with its "work now-clean up later" policy ; and that this pollution endangers the national food supply.
We in the West are inclined to shrug; but consider this: a well-armed,highly militaristic nation, that has been expanding its operations into OUR sphere of influence is potentially a danger to us.
Factor in the possibility of large-scale famine in China, and potential danger escalates to a startling degree !

I was just there in the sse section of the 5th ring road in Beijing, and that title is an UNDERSTATEMENT!!
These people do NOT drink their own tap water!!
They order boiled water in restaurants, and they LIVE there!!
Trust me, the water is POISON in China, DONT DRINK ANYTING that isnt from a bottle or boiled.

Waiting for some moron to call the EPA and complain lol. One would think leftist groups like the Sierra Club would be more interested in THEIR elections, and not ours.....

Isn't China the reason we don't join the Kyoto protocol? Actually I would prefer to say "Proof of why we don't join the Kyoto protocol."
Isn't china considered one of those developing sorts of nations that doesn't have to take care of itself? and if we join the kyoto, when the time comes to clean things up, it will be on everyone ELSE to clean up china's indifferent to all things but the sustainment of centralized power?
Just wondring.

They are already here. They own large farms in southern California. They send the produce of the farms to China.
