Zhu Chuuyun lost her husband to cancer; she says a polluted river caused it.
Despite the health risks, Zhu says she and her daughter still depend on the river for their sustenance.
There is no such thing as a free lunch - this cheap stuff from China is gonna come back to bite us in the butt.
Same here in the United States.. Course you know that (SSA) Social Security in the U.S. IS PURE SOCIALISM... And most Americans are in complete denial of this..
How can a government TAX something you OWN..
If they do they are renting it you.. (i.e. property taxes, liens. licenses, permits etc.)
Ping.
China is also starting to spend massively on water treatment. They’ve got a long road ahead, and are going to have to spend incredible sums of money. A shimmer of light is American companies are world leaders in water treatment of all kinds. Like General Electric.
China was in a very tough spot 15 years ago. Too poor to afford water treatment.. we are talking 100’s of billions to make a dent. Yet to build the industry to get enough money, it would do even greater pollution!
Now they’ve got the money, like their 1.2 trillion in reserves. But even that sum of money.. I read it might take a trillion dollars in investment China needs in water in the next like 8 years. The only way out is engineering solutions, and paying whatever the cost for world class companies to come in.
