Someone who has balanced resources would have thought through the situation in China thoroughly and would have been less quick to criticize. It seems you have not done careful research on China's development, not just with regards to economics, but also with her incremental steps with regards to human rights for her citizens. In terms of pollution, I would like to point out that Britain during her Industrial Revolution has had her fair share of terrible pollution - to the point of black soot appearing on trees. It doesn't make sense to blindly chide China's record on the environmental, and ignore the obvious failures of the West. Sometimes however, people have closed their minds so tightly that they cannot be reopened. I hope "Anonymous" will not become one of those people. Especially since 1.3 billion of the world's population is Chinese - it'll be hard for him/her to get along with 1/5 of the World's population. “nor do they want to spend time reading about voices from different resources”

Too bad I've actually been to Beijing and other few cities in China a few times. The reality speaks louder than words, my friend. P.S.

If you want to talk about ignorance, then I'd argue that a majority of the Chinese population is the true group of ignorant people -- they are content with being fooled by the propaganda the Chinese government puts out, and ignore the real issues lying beneath all the façade! These ignorant people (I sincerely hope you are not one of them, 'cause that would just be VERY unfortunate) do not see how corrupted the situation in China is, nor do they want to spend time reading about voices from different resources... But hey, I don't blame them, after all, the Chinese government is super good at censoring foreign countries' news report. Well, Eastwood, at least I was polite in my argument…

Just look at my latest post and the photo of myself in front of Tiananmen. I'm in Beijing right now, and out of the 3 days that I stayed, we've had 2 beautiful, blue-skied, cloudless days. Your ignorance truly amazes me. But hey, why am I complaining? There are, after all, people who are glued to CNN and Fox all day and people who would vote bush. You know what? Stay in your bubble. Ignorance is bliss, my friend. Wow Anonymous, your comment is so biased and full of bull crap! Just look at my latest post and the photo of myself in front of Tiananmen.

Beijing is just as dusty and full of pollution as the BBC picture has shown for the majority of times!!! I'd like to hear what you have to say to this.
