There is no argument from me about how bad the pollution is in China. Many companies from the rich countries/regions have taken advantage of the lacking of environmental regulations for all types of industries in China, and they transfered all kinds of energy intensive, highly polluted, and a lot of sunset industries to China. And Chinese leaders are extremely slow in figuring out they are being shortchanged in these rotten deals. Only since last year, the gov. starts to enforce some environment regulations. And a dozen or so provinces will start the trial of green GDP growth soon. I read some research claims that after taking into account of the damage to the environment, the real GDP growth in China have been negative for the last 2 decades. That is too extreme of course, but I agree the environmental damage which already been done will take more than a couple of decades and billions of Yuan to clean up<ng>. And hopefully, the economic development in the western part of China will be environmentally friendly, because that part has some most beautiful sceneries in the world.
