Today the world bank took notice of China's environmental problem and today China got the world bank to drop this part of their report. The missing part of their report says that 750,000 people die prematurely yearly in China due to pollution.I have lived in Tianjin China for five years and can tell you first hand that the air and water in Tianjin are toxic. Tianjin is a city of over 10 million people and is supposed to be in the top five cities in China. Everyday garbage is dumped into the streets and generally these people care little about sanitation..
I have spent five years trying to teach these people but they do not want to learn and take care of their environment. In their business or in their homes they have western technology to have a cleaner environment but they never use it. In most cases they do not know how to use the technology.
On the political front China is trying to use its clout in the United Nations in order to avoid responsiblity for its actions. In China the Communist party is elitist and does not represent the people. They use the population to get rich.
In the USA they are pushing Hillary Clinton for the next president and are pumping money into the Clinton Foundation. This is standard procedure for the Socialists. They have also tightened their relationship with the Islamists. Over one third of China's population are Muslim and this represents the basis of support for the Communist party. Most of these people have under grade eight education, so they are easy to manipulate . China also receives oil from the Muslim countries.
But combined with the mining accidents and traffic accidents China is a minefield top live in. Everything in China is unsafe, the houses, the roads, the airplanes, the buses.
