#2 someone - Lol! Bravo!

It's a dammed shame and dammed dangerous, too, gosh darnit!

"The central government has spent quite a lot of money for these water treatment plants, but didn't give money for their operation."

Lol! Commies to the core. Sigh. They may never get it.

Jobs... or Environment... "Oh, Xinhuawuwangtze! This industrialization stuff is soooo complicated! Can we ~~bribe~~ invite President Clinton again to find out how the Running Dog Imperialists manage to do both? He was so helpful with our ~~non-cavitating submarine propeller designs and acquiring advanced computer export licenses~~ 'economic' issues in his last $5M 'dinner speech' - surely he can help us with this! But tell him to leave that woman at home - she hurts my ears!"

#3 My new apartment in China is right next to a small river. When I walk across the bridge, it smells. Another river near my office smells like a port-a-potty in Texas in August.

#4 This is just one of the problems of the Thre Gorges Dam. Many Archeological site along the Yangtze have been submerged or destroyed. Sacred sites to the Chinese people have also been destroyed by the dam. The only way to stop this disaster is too take down the dam, which won't happen anytime soon. That is, unless someone blows it up, but China would have a 1/3 population reduction if that happened.

#5 It'll be cleaned up when the dam breaks.
