Another typical Chinese Communist way of doing things: lying to everyone.
Ping!
The water that we pay way too much for where I live isn't safe to drink either. We get a postcard about every other month from the water company reminding us of that fact. I drink Ozarka, it tastes pretty good. And I bathe quickly. It's kind of a shame that the tap water would be poison in America, let alone Texas. But I'm a realist and I am therefore not drinking it.
Hopefully this will spark a rebellion of some kind.
Ah yes, the wonders of communism. Always looking out for the people and the environment.
This isn't China's fault. It's the US's fault. If we took our military budget and split it up among the world's poor and needy, underdeveloped nations, and whatever else the Left wants, this would have been prevented. Nothing bad would ever happen again.
An interesting question: how does the West's Left respond to the quote of Deng Xiaoping: "To get rich is glorious."? They will probably scream bloody murder if said by Reagan, but will they shut up just because Deng is Chinese and he is at least officially a Communist?
Nice warm up for the Chinese response to a pandemic.
Maybe this is China's Chernobyl.
When these things happen it tends to unmask the lying communist dictators for what they are. And it isn't pretty... It is the thing revolutions are made of.
Where's Erin Brockovitch when you need her? I vote we send her to China.
Lord only knows what they've dug up in the place that's got them all so worried, but they're going to a lot of trouble to make it look like a chemical spill somewhere else that has them concerned.
The conclusion is the Chicoms found some interesting leftovers from WWII and refuse to lose face to Japanese technological superiority by advertising it.
Bet they now know more about the kind of atom bombs the North Koreans have than they ever wanted to know.
There is another saying being widely believed that the real problem was cyanides discovered in the water supply system. A private individual disclosed details about special vehicles used for carrying chemicals treating cyanides being found at water processing plants.

Because of the vast pollution in China their babies will be deformed and other pollution ills will strike the population.
They will pay for putting out their low cost products with no pollution contols.
Hmmmm ... Didn't China sign onto the Kyoto Treaty??

The approval manifests China's positive stance towards international environmental cooperation and world sustainable development," said the Chinese premier in a press release.
In communism, the government and businesses become one; they become the ultimate corporatist/monopolist economy. Likewise, the more government regulates business, the more business the government absorbs. This is the end result.
And they say capitalists are the business whores--what irony.
Communists and Liberals have a problem with the truth. Even when their lies are backed up with truth they just can't seem to admit that they lie.
What's the big deal? Last time I voted, I was told that Bush was going to raise arsenic levels in drinking water and kill a whole bunch of people.
Where in the world do you live in TX?
