China's Yellow River

They're going to have to start calling it the "Brown River".

The 5,464-km (3,395-mile) river supplies water to more than 150 million people and irrigates 15 percent of the country's farmland, but has lost a third of its fish species and is 70 percent unfit for drinking or swimming, state media have reported.

Nasty, nasty.

” 10 percent of the Yellow River’s flow, a prominent Chinese non-governmental group said.”

But we get to buy widgets for a bit less here...

Actually the pop band Christie scored a minor hit in 1970 with “Yellow River.”

Their environmental policies will contribute to their downfall, much more and sooner, than anything a western power could.

Liberals want us to believe that the Chinese will spend untold resources to slow down CO2 expulsion when they can’t even stop pouring sewage into their drinking water.

But, but, but, I thought it was the U.S. that’s the world’s biggest polluter! At least that’s what the left tells us.

"Many of our children have no hair and bad teeth," the paper quoted Wang Mingzhi, a Baiyin resident, as saying.

"Heavy metals in the water are very harmful to people's health," Wang said."

A couple million early deaths doesn't mean a thing to the Chinese. It's not like they'll be sued or anything.

Maybe they need some lawyers. John Edwards will be free after the first couple primaries.

If this isn't enough to make Americans stop buying Chinese food and products, I don't know what is.
