In fairness though, China is working on the 3 Gorges Dam project which will substitute a lot of coal power for clean energy, and it has designs on nuclear energy. Until then though, the cities are going to be a polluted mess. I remember a few years ago, after the UN slammed China for its environmental practices, China did an internal audit of the country's environmental index. They had a particular prediction, but by the end of the project the findings were something like 250% higher than they expected. In utter embarrassment, they scrapped the census project, and immediately put money into the relevant ministries to do monitoring and some cleanup projects. The environment is on everyone's mind in China right now, and it's an issue that has the longterm potential to topple the government. People won't care about prosperity if they are choking on it. | |

Lean: Moderate Gender: ![]() | Re: China demolishes mosque for not supporting Olympics: group 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. |
