More people pointing the finger at them for doing the same thing we were doing 100 years ago, and to some extent are still doing. If we started industrializing when our population was 1.1 billion, we'd be in the exact same predicament. Now that mostly everyone in our side of the world is fed and literate, not to mention living in the lap of luxury uncompared to anywhere else, we have the convenience of defending the environment. China is still struggling to provide basic needs for its huge population.

Instead of hoping for it to be embarrassed, you should be hoping for it do develop ways to clean up the dangerous environmental mess it has created. I'm glad that the Olympics are there. It has created a lot more awareness of China's environmental problems, so maybe now more help will come China's way in the form of beneficial investment.
