China’s Water and Air pollution Crisis

believed or not, china deserved for these situation.

To say it brief…China is screwed: the state faces its own internal
deconstruction and collapse at this rate from beyond poor choices that will
cause more destruction than that caused by both Imperial Japan and the
Mongols during their invasions COMBINED.

*Water Is A Basic Need*

China doesn’t have enough clean fresh water.

No wonder they invest so much in Canada, we got the largest supply of fresh
water that everyone wants.

Anyway, China’s situation is less sustainable than the water consumption in
U.S. states like Florida. It won’t be long until their growing industries
causes devastating amounts of internal strife and the country plunges into
civil war. (assuming one does not start up with India, Nepal, Bangladesh
and other affected countries in South East Asia that rely on the glaciers
from the Himalayas.

wow…I thought my country made bonehead decisions…

Why aren’t people aware of this. Are people so blind as to what is going on
this the planet. This planet is fucked and to late to repair it.,
especially since the U.S has stubborn people.

is the bottled water safe to drink?

I was in Bangkok in summer 2008 and was horrified by the appearance of the
water in the city’s “canals”. I swear to you, it GLOWED GREEN. Scary and
it’s coming a city near US.

That’s what Communism gets you

How bad do things have to get in China before the government finally does
something to reverse all this damage that is being done to the environment?
If things continue like this, I’m afraid it will be too late.

Well, China is obtaining our fresh water from our Great Lakes through the
2006 Great Lakes Compact. There is a loophole in it allowing companies to
take fresh water out of our Great Lakes as long as they are shipped in
containers below a certain size. Since 2006 the water level of the Great
Lakes has dropped significantly and China is one of the countries
benefiting. I guess if they can’t get their fresh water from home, getting
it from their enemy is the next best thing.

Untrue.. not anywhere,, New York City tap water is perfectly drinkable. We
have the best tap water on the planet. Except maybe for Dubai.

disgusting fucking country

fuck china!

When the price of a good increases people reevaluate the ways they use it. A gallon of gasoline (equivalent to about four liters) in the US frequently costs about as much as a liter of petrol in Europe, which partly explains why European cars typically get much better gas mileage than US autos. Water pollution and air pollution both are examples of “the tragedy of the commons.” When a good that is held in common (like grazing access to the “commons” in the UK before the 18th Century enclosure movement divided up all the land and changed land tenure law)… Read more »

society fools following stupid things without thinking are the cause of
this and many of you people watching this video dont even see anything
wrong but if you’re living a blind existence following what people you dont
even know tell you to do , buying tons of useless stuff and selling youre
whole freedom and life time to get money than youre as much skum as the
government is .. basically youre not even alive.. youre just a useless
follower.

Another indignity suffered upon the people of China..And for what? More garbage to fill Walmart’s shelves? More money in the pockets of the rich and the corrupt? Why did they not see the damage done in other countries by un-regulated industry? When no thought is given to the environment? It’s a simple equation…You don’t shit where you eat!…and when all the potable water is gone…when they cannot grow crops..or even run industry to churn out more patio furniture and DVD players then where will the people go? The ☭ CCP ☭ is gonna look silly when everyone is dead..or has… Read more »

China’s drinking water is done! bug good old water incorp day. 322

I contracted Shigella Dysentriae & needed to be hospitalized as soon as I
got back from China. No villages or countryside, just big & medium sized
cities all up & down the eastern coast from Behai to HK by train for a
month..& I only washed with it…I did drink soda with local ice in western
owned fast food places..god knows what I ate

In 20-40 years the effe4cts are to going to play major role! If you cant
have water

CCP does not care about his or her people only party. Chinese can die but
not a party CCP wants to rule the China as long as they want and CCP is
also rule everything” Disastrous.”

as a worst case scenario, mass dehydration, revolution, military rebuff,
tens to hundreds of millions dead.

Simple, We should bomb China or go to war IF they dont comply with New
Regulations.

i guess this is a part of the broader chinese movement towards energy
securing, seems the military build up should help enforce that or make it
easier to quell uproars

I wouldn’t swim in that pool of 1000 people, someone may have pee’d in that
pool or worse made a Baby Ruth…

Look up “Life Straw” Its a tube that filters the filthiest water instantly.
They cost around ten dollars and are given free to African children to
drink from mud holes.
They are probably made in china and could be made available to the public
there.
But like you said the Chinese government looks for mega solutions that
cause more problems and overlook the simple answers.

A very nice treatment of the fallacies of central management of resources.
The incentive structures and logical limitations are commensurate to scale
rather than intention.

I very much agree with the core statement: No matter how big the oppression
is, a government that cannot deliver drinkable water, edible food and
non-poisonous air to breath is facing a serious problem, for these are the
basic needs of every individual. If China fails to adress this challenge,
this will cause the fall of the CCP. Sooner or later.

What’s funny is that China has access to one of the largest freshwater
sources in the world: The Himalayas. Despite this, the commie government
still managed to make water shortage a major problem because of poor
regulation
