<Whichever way you look at it, the Chinese people are not under threat. Despite all the pollution they are living longer, like people almost everywhere.>

First of all, the affects your speaking of are from public heath just like what happened in the West. Secondly... you're just plain wrong, like it or not China is showing self control one way or another and their fertillity rates have plummeted.

And again, you're talking a very short time period... hardly a generation. If you were running an experiment with fruit flys you would have just put the critters in the glass containers! You haven't seen ONE real outbreak of anything unleashed onto our lazy, unhealthy population... yet. BTW, the rate of disease in the U.S. is rising at an alarming rate across the board... even as pollution in the most outrageous areas has declined.

<but we are showing a survival success rivaled only (in the world of things visible to the naked eye) by ants, cockroaches, rats and mice, and the species that we grow for food or other reasons. >

No... actually there is no species in modern times that has propogated the way we have... the graph is parabolic like no other. Again, it is all very recent.

< Even if they control their population voluntarily the fact remains that most vertebrate species have already been wiped out in China.>

Poppycock.

<We are extremely clever and adaptable. That's why we got where we are.>

Vs other species... that is irrelevant now.
