Reputational risk of doing business with China  

When the adminsitration has so little interest in demanding compliance with the environmental regulations, it is hard to comprehend why foreign enterprises jeopardise their reputation by continuing to do business with China.

Environmental protection should be taken seriously

Environmental protection should be taken seriously, it doesn't have to be possible to say successfully, because it is a process, and forever is only a process. Environmental protection is non-stop work, but as long as there is still progress to. In my view, environmental protection, the battle can not be "premature" as an excuse stall in the past, even if difficult, they have to make a determined effort to strengthen law enforcement. The topic of environmental protection can not be contrived, must not materialistic! Otherwise, like this, they became a bitter joke!

Ho-ho

The head of the environmental administration has prepared to make some accomplishment for promotion. Why do you lay it bare? Ho-Ho.

Completed

The speed of destroy is way faster than that of protection. When all the conditions become 'mature', contamination will no longer be able to reverse.

The undrinkable water in my Shaanxi hometown

My hometown is to the west of the city of Xi'an. I live elsewhere and can only return home once every year or two. Every time I go, my parents say the water quality is getting worse and worse, that the water from the well in our courtyard is undrinkable. The last time I went home, I avoided drinking water as much as possible. My parents boiled up tea leaves to disguise the bitter taste in the water. I'm really worried. In local villages pure water is for sale on the street, and wealthy families buy drinkable water for cooking. Nevertheless, the majority of people struggle to drink the bitter tasting water. In my childhood, the water in the river in front of the village flowed continuously. In the ten years since I started high school it has dried up. All the paper mills long the national highway leading into our village drain their waste water into the stream. Every evening, black smoke from the chimneys chokes the nearby residents.

How?

Fine words about Environmental Protection are all well and good! - but how?
