Knife China
2008 Olympics in Bejing, China….but what about the pollution?
China has been bending over backward to make Bejing appear to be a modern, and very advanced city to Western Eyes.
“Loosing face” is a BIG deal for China. China knows they will be flooded with thousands (maybe millions) of guests from other countries, and worst of all cameras, and video cameras that will take tales, pictures, and video clips back to other countries to be played over and over again. China does not want ANY imberrasing video or pictures to be shown over and over again for the world to view.
Chinda can do a great deal to “modernize” their cities to Western eyes….but there’s nothing that can be done about the pollution that is so thick it makes the air a heavy brown hazy you could slice with a knife. China knows perfectly well their pollution will forever be a part of every 2008 Olympic picture.
Would you believe China, a communist country has a sollution? They are going to shut down every single factory….so the air will clear.
Thoughts/comments?
Pollution is a result of Industrialization. England went through in the early 1900s and so did U.S. The problem is that China is having a major problem striking for a balance between economical development and pollution. Because of the pressue created by Olympic, hopefully it will raise the awareness by the government and the people the need to change. The Chinese central governement is NOT the only one at fault here. The provincial governement usually choose economic over environment as well. That needs to change.
