China's Pollution Busters - China

Nov 2007In the past six years, infant birth defects in China have increased by an unprecedented 40%. This rise is being blamed on pollution from factories. Now green campaigners are taking on the multinationals. "The untreated waste is pumped out secretly at night", states activist Wu Deng Ming, pointing at a water outlet leading from a factory into a river. "People living along the river have enlarged livers", claims one local. They suffer from: "loss of appetite or cancer and all sorts of terminal diseases". Although strong laws governing pollution exist, these are regularly flouted. "Some local officials give protection to polluters", claims Ma Jun. In an attempt to put pressure on polluters, campaigners are naming and shaming guilty companies online. "We let people know that this company, with such a popular brand, is violated waste water discharge standards". There are also signs that central government is taking the problem more seriously. "The state is very serious about environmental problems", states official Zhou Linbo. Some factories have been closed down. But strong resistance to change still exists. "Polluting factories hire hooligans to deal with people they believe will damage their reputation", claims Wu Deng Ming. Other companies threaten to relocate to Vietnam or Indonesia where; "we can still discharge more of less freely".

First off I don't like the Chinese govt, but I don't have anything against the people or the country.If you were paying any attention to the video you should already know that most of the factories were put up by western countries and yes US is included.I guess I shouldn't be surprised that so many factories put up in China were from the West. Probably a no brainer, but they must be paying the Chinese govt pretty well in order to do this.

Digging holes that is what we do best. You don't care school and studies, you are too anxious to imitating. How come you cannot modify what you use with your efforts? Monkey dresses in suit that is what we act right now. You know it is ugly. A real monkey doesn't want to do that, do you know?

Fuck america. If america cared so much about pollution they would have accepted the kyoto protocol which they rejected when they were the leading polluters. And the fact that china JUST surpassed them means that US for a long time was polluting more than a country that has 1 billion ppl more than it. Do you really expect 1.3 billion ppl to produce less carbon than .3 billion like the US?? Look at PER CAPITA figures and stop pointing your finger cuz YOU r the greatest polluters in the world!
gensing (August 25, 2008 at 6:28 pm)
Most of the ppl posting are morons. (ie. the ones who praise US and slam China.) Go look at the figures for pollution PER CAPITA. You'll find that in the US each person produces 6.7 tonnes of C02 PER CAPITA while china only produces about 1.7. PER CAPITA, US is still by far the greatest polluter. It's stupid to take the total C02 emissions of countries seing as how certain countries have a billion more ppl than others. It's a shame that US produces almost as much as 1.3 billion ppl!
