I agree with you there... China is doing what developing countries do. Production factories produce alot of waste, but developing countries do that. I just find it incredibly hilarious to see all the armchair critics.
But you know what a country does after they've established themselves? They clean up their environment and improve environmental restrictions. China has done that over the past year. Again, I bring to the attention the plans for the eco-city Dongtan. China is getting to the point where they can afford to have stricter regulations on environment, which gives you an idea where China is at their stage of development to becoming a sustainable world power.
