Yes China is the bad guy, much worse than the US.
I mean look at all the invasions and wars that China has started.
Don't be so naive. Every country has human rights and environmental rights issues.
If you can sit here and complain about Saudi Arabia funding lobby groups in America to combat Keystone, then you should understand that there are similar anti-chinese groups funding lobby groups to taint China's human rights and environmental records.
It's all politics.
