Got news for you...its a lot more than 278 cities. Perhaps, 278 fairly large cities. But there are thousands of towns and cities across China that have open sewers that are not treated.

The articel itself makes this clear.

About 5,000 administrative towns and 20,000 market towns also had no sewage treatment facilities

But this is not new. Most of the world lives this way. The United States inparticular, but also Canada, Australia and Western Europe are blessed to have the sanittion they do.

I thought that communism was supposed to take care of these things … workers paradise and all. There should not even be a dog turd in the streets in a workers paradise.

Failed system. And yet Hitlery et al, want to push this on us.

"More than half of the population is living in an environment where sewage is not treated"

They're Marxist/Socialists. They'll get a pass from our home-grown Marxist/Socialists. In fact our couragous congress critters and the Drive-Bys will find a way to blame Bush.
