It’s worth noting that the Kyoto Treaty exempted China from its emission restrictions, as well as Mexico and India.

China's uses America's inaction on the environment as an excuse.

Pure unpolluted BS. China avoids environmental protections because they are expensive and would make their goods less competitive on the global market. That they will lose a lot of citizens to disease is not exactly a big concern.

Okay, okay, you win.

We need to stifle human progress for humanities sake and start from the top and take individual wealth away from all for the good of the whole.

You will be prying something cold and blue out of my dying hand before I succumb to the rhetoric.

I’ve read that 25% of the airborne pollutants in the LA Basin can be traced to China.

This may be true but they are on the verge of solving one of their major SOLID waste disposal problems.

On a recent visit to China, a friend spotted this ad in a Beijing newspaper. He sent me the photo with a translation of the ad copy.

BECOME AN ENTREPRENEUR AND JOIN CHINA’S NEW MONIED ELITE!

Yes, you can now join the millions of happy and prosperous Chinese citizens taking advantage of the growing numbers of American and Western multinational corporations “outsourcing” their production to the hard-working and industrious people of China. This outsourcing has now spread to their food supplies and ingestible items. Since these firms pay us for gross weight – and this new weight will be pretty gross – and the stupid American government only spot-checks imported items in these categories (they just got lucky on the anti-freeze thing), it has opened an entirely new opportunity which our beloved Chairman is offering to any Chinese citizen willing to do a little of what the foolish Americans call “grunt work.”

Installing one of these state-of-the-art food additive production facilities behind YOUR hovel is as simple as clipping the coupon below and sending it to the address shown. Your production plant will be shipped to you in 4 to 6 weeks. Supplies are limited so don’t fart around. ACT NOW!! Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

These silly Americans have an expression we have “borrowed” and modified to describe this new and exciting venture: “Don’t give me any s**t.”

Our motto will be “We won’t GIVE you any s**t. But we’ll SELL it to you fools at a really great price.”

AND LOOK FOR A NEW DROP-DEAD MONEY-MAKER COMING SOON. SOYLENT YELLOW PROMISES TO BE BIG!!

I swear its a personal attack on each and every person in America, from Twinkies to Vitamin C, Communist Red China is delivering goods to the US cleverly inserted in a broad area in almost everything we use, eat or wear. And all these products are done with little or no quality control.

We flock to the big box stores like Walmart and Kmart looking for bargains but we lose sight of what made us an independant strong country and that is what allowed us to be the strongest in the world, our immense ability to produce in quantity and quality consumer goods.

A case of a would be scenario, what if China was involved in a serious war and goods like vitamins, protein supplements or basic ingredients needed for preservatives suddenly was not available to us? The trickle down effect would be enormous. Myself I fear its not stockpiling ammo its getting prepared to manufacture my own vitamins, if neccesary find the ingredients needed that we take for granted and find or demand it again be sourced in the US, there should be a study of the effects of a scenario of NOTHING coming from China and how it can degrade or shut down parts of our infrastructure.

Now if China was to become a Muslim nation they would use this as a hostage ploy to demand we allow them world control but instead its just our dear old nemesis Communism at work.
