Oh, we all know it’s just racism by Western White Men that is causing both the deaths and blaming the Chinese for the pollution.

Ah, the joys of Socialism!

Isn’t China the country that Al Gore wants us to emulate in terms of environmental leadership?

The Chinese government has been accused of attempting to cover up nearly three quarters of a million deaths caused by rampant pollution.

Three quarters of a million? That's all?

Looking at those pictures, it's a wonder that anyone is left alive....

Any food and healthcare products manufactured in China contain a good amount of water. I wonder what magical clean supply of water they use for that base.

How disgusting. Welcome to just another day in the communist neighborhood. People animals and the land be damned, the state marches on. They are all just donators to the cause.

In Shanghai on a cloudless day the shadows are but a vague outline, because the pollution is so heavy light is dispersed in all directions. Though I certainly don’t recommend it, you can look directly at the sun there without squinting.

It’s the country to which Algore wants to give away ‘carbon credits’ (Kyoto) since they are an ‘underdeveloped’ nation.

I blame it as much on Chinese corruption as communism, but then the communists are probably the most likely Chinese to abuse their power for personal gain.

All this report is is "racism" of the white devil who hate Chinese prosperity. This in reference to the affirmative action hire of the WaPo who fronts as an Asian-American by insinuating that concerns over food safety is "racism" on white haters part.

Thanks for the (two) pings! lol!!

Oh

My

Gosh!

As I sit here and look at the lovely Pennsylvania hills and the crystal clear spring next to my house, I can’t believe that the US is held up as a major polluter, while this disgusting type of stuff is going on in China! And how much of those chemicals are ending up in the food they send over here? I feel bad for the poor people who have to live with this, every day, over there.

Yet this is where so much of our food comes from—this filthy polluted country.

Hey, lets open up with China, we can poison US citizens and rid ourselves of human capital. We tried it on cats, dogs, and gerbils, we know it will work on the folks.

Holding hands with China, experts in ridding themselves of too much human capital. /s

Pretty hypocritical of the media and leftists.

But then, lying to promote their agenda is nothing new.

Too bad the America hating media won’t ever show this stuff. I’m glad to be part of FR for this reason; at least you can find out stuff you’d never know otherwise.
