Pollution is an issue which the authorities would rather hide. But the problem is becoming dangerous and it can no longer be ignored. China has been sacrificing its environment and its people to feed its ever-growing economic powerhouse. The production of computers, cars, and other goods, all at prices below anywhere else in the world, has driven the Chinese boom relentlessly on. Now though China is finally paying the price. "I think they knew it was poisonous to humans but if they used another chemical our output would not have been increased". These are the words of one worker in the computer industry who has seen her and her colleagues sacrificed to produce cheap computers for the rest of the world. However, it is not just the workers who are suffering; China's environment has been badly damaged. One community living next to an incinerator, which consumes China's growing waste, claim their community has been savaged by pollution. "No-one knows who will be the next to die." Some Chinese have been attempting to arrest damage, "I tell the bosses of some companies that you might make money as big as mountains of gold and silver, but, if all the money is made from the loss of green rivers and blue mountains your future generations will curse us, ", but is this all too little too late?

The great paradox of Chinese people. Some of them drive around with a Ferrari but their children must do sport activity with a breathing mask.
Their way of conceiving the life is just shameful. They will regret soon, they are doomed to failure. -
We see this in US cities such Chicago, Flint Michigan and others place in US. America and the west are pollute as much as China.

这个老外竟然说我拍管你狗事8:50，我操你妈了个B啊，有这么说话的吗，这么嚣张，操你妈的

My regards to the Chinese peopl who live through this,

The whole china being the biggest polluter is just propaganda, the per capita is what matters, because it affects and comes from life quality, which is a more fair estimate. China is in the 43~ place, usa is at 11~ in pollution per capita.
globalization just brings it to the equal point -
lol

can you fuckers shut up.
theres two ways to grow economy.
one is by making more mouths. the other is trading per unit of x input for more outputs of y.
we dont need more fucking mouths.
and stop with your hypocrisy.
whos enjoying these laptop, iphone, computers? u, dumass. so just enjoy the suffering of other human beings.
unless u want to pay 20x more for your gadgets for pollution-free biodegradable items.
anyhow yeah. if 1/3 of the world died off, we'd be much better.
btw chinese people. yes its your fault.
get off your fucking asses. you have 1 billion people. if you cant assassinate those at the top. i will laugh. lol.
how did you think western democracies arose? lots of wars and blood. -
Great documentary well done thoroughly enjoyed it
-
Die chinks die. lol

The real elephant in the room is....to many people in what was a very naturally beautiful place. The only limiting stop to population seems to be self destruction.
-
No, the world is paying the price.

The poor, should just force shut-down all pollution sources, they benefit so little from this World, they should earn some respect and make it impossible to exploit them, stop working, unite and don't start again until you get your fair share, with this old, ineffective and unfair system of trade (A rich man can only do one thing at a time, like walk in one pair of shoes and too few have access to 200K+ spaceflights, or even solar panels, making that type of development slower than it needs to be, plus, there is a maximum of 24 hours of work in a day, no matter how rich you are or how good you do your job, profit-sharing should have been in place from the beginning.
Ford didn't build all those cars himself, FAR FROM IT, he didn't work 72 hours a day, FAR FROM IT... why not help clean up older generations mess?? your children will benefit big time.
Stop the slave mind, there should be good paid McDonalds workers on the moon by now, it's not like our blue planet is lacking in water, materials and know how, so something else must be very wrong.. Economics, Capitalism needs fundamental change!! -
Elite Chinese ~~> No problem GI, we just move east a bit, to California, it is bought and paid for anyway.
