The depth of public passion about China’s ailing environment became crystal clear this week with the release of the 104-minute documentary by Chai Jing, a former state television network reporter. More than 175 million people viewed the film online in just a few days, unleashing rare public debate about the state of the country’s environment….
“I don’t think it’s lip service,” Lin said. “I think they’ll continue to push on this.” |
