>>Yes, it is unfortunate that China has few environmental rules and all the multinational companies are taking advantage of that.<< I agree that the multinationals are taking advantage. But it's the responsibility of China to strengthen it's environmental enforcement.

<the most important reason for the pollution in China is so bad is that almost all the heavy polluted industries in the world have or want to transfer their manufacturing to China. Chinese are being victimized. Majority of the pollution are caused by producing for the developed countries.> Oh, the poor dears. Helpless little darlings being savaged again by the evil foreign devil colonizers. <it is unfortunate that China has few environmental rules and all the multinational companies are taking advantage of that. But it would be hypocritical to blame China while consuming the product which caused those pollution in the first place. > Yes, it's mean to blame the Chinese government. They can't help it that they are too stupid to see the problem and waste their time passing anti-seccession laws instead of anti-pollution laws. We horrid Westerners shouldn't buy things from China if we are going to accuse them of making dumb rules and failing to make good rules. Not only are Westerners mean to the stupid Chinese, they are also hypocritical for buying the things they produce. <One more thing about those statistics on how many Chinese having autism, my advise is that don't take it so seriously. They are highly hypothetical. The real number can be higher, but also can be much lower, no one knows. Those number are coming from some special interest groups, and it is highly inflated, just like the GDP number in China which is usually highly inflated too (the published GDP number by the Chinese central gov. have been weighted down anywhere bet. 30-40% of the total from all the local gov.). > Damn straight! You can't believe those numbers [GDP and austism]. But Yiwu KNOWS what they are and therefore so do all other Chinese [who don't need votes or numbers to decide things - it's a kind of metaphysical certitude they have, which is derived from mysticism interpreted by Yiwu the Mad]. The number of autistic is highly inflated [as determined by Yiwu] though the number can also be both higher and much lower, which no one knows [except Yiwu who knows it is highly inflated. Yiwu the Economist has also determined that the silly data published by the Chinese central government is wrong, with reality either 30% - 40% higher, or perhaps it was lower, than the local government figures. Whichever it is, it doesn't matter and Taiwan would be better off joining up and being run by Yiwu the Mad and clones who simply KNOW what the truth is and will tell everyone else. I'm not sure Yiwu should go against the government like that, while being a serf of said government. They put people in gaol for that sort of thing. Mqurice

Yiwu, did you notice another country has joined King George II's spreading democracy movement? It's not all that far from China. The USSR and iron curtain states have all fallen. Georgia, Lebanon, and now english.chosun.com So, when will Taiwan reunify China under the banner of freedom and democracy? Perhaps sooner rather than later. If a billion Chinese decide to go AWOL, there's nothing to stop it. A week is a long time in politics. Hu Jintao has a tiger by the tail. Chinese clonist kleptocrats and trough snufflers will have to get real jobs. 2005 might be a LOT of fun. When Hu Jintao and militarist megalomaniacs put the Feather Duster manoeuvres back on track [after a "technical glitch" interregnum], maybe that'll be the catalyst for a freedom movement in China. Imagine democracy in China and how great the place could be. You just need to look at Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong for examples surrounding China of how well things can go in economically and politically free places. Mqurice

Yiwu, you say that Taiwan is part of China. Why does China allow a green revolution to take place? It will be interesting to see whether wearing green is banned in mainland China. rte.ie Maybe there will be a sea of green appear in Beijing. A week is a long time in politics and the democracy rampage continues apace, with Taiwanese now waving the flag. Green-coloured this time. It will be hilarious if China bans people from wearing green. I expect they will have to do that or see a sea of green. The Feather Duster manoeuvres will be useless if the green revolution is going on back at HQ. Mqurice
