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".

Watch Henry Kissinger's interview where he talks about China. He says the population is shrinking fast, thanks to the one-child policy. Those huge buildings could be empty in 20 years.

Communism defines corruption. The government is taking all the control and the people are left behind. China is rising up, and that cost the poor to become poorer. It's a wealthy nation as a whole but not on per capita. Many are in poor living conditions. They protest and rally but oppression stops them. It should be the population that controls the nation.

Koreans did not 'adopt' the Chinese writing system. Meaning is translated through differing characters but have you actually studied Korean at all? seriously

Communism and oppressive government is the main cause here. I mean 1.3 billion people in a single country. With a good democratic government, China could easily become super power and world leader in industry and influence. Instead many people are now seeing China as the epitomy of communism, oppressing 1.3 of it's people with fear. I hope one day China will become democratic and prosper as they should. So many people but mostly afraid of their leaders. Fight communism.
