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".

those inventions were the early industrializing in china. in fact, many of the things they made didn't even came to the minds of the west after they made it for over hundreds of years. the west and the chinese both made important contributions to the world so no one is actually more superior than the other.

i know about chinese inventions but i dont see how they could have started industialising in 12-1300 and make next to zero progress from then till 1800s.also as far as chinese inventions go, they are very important contributions but chinese want to take credit for pretty much everything it seems and they think they are superior when they arent. i guess 'the west' is guilty of that to some degree also.

China is fast becoming the Toilet Bowl of the Earth.A filthy, chemical laden,polluted shitbowl.The western world will soon look for cheaper countries to produce goods as China is becoming too expensive and this will lead to a massive recession as no country can sustain 10-15% growth in GDP each year.
