Pollution Turns Chinese River System Red

The Chinese will have to address its environmental problems.

Welcome to the issues of all industrialized nations.

I remember seeing something similar when I used to camp in the state parks of east Texas, which were open to logging for pulp. The creeks were filled with a nasty red liquid. It's the only place I've ever been where you were warned not to touch the water. Very quiet though - no annoying wildlife to break the silence.

I guess that's why it's called RED China.

Seriously speaking, if China continues to fail to fulfill its obligations to environmental protection, something that it pledged to do under the terms of its admission into the WTO, it will eventually have catastrophic consequences, not only for China itself, but for its neighboring countries as well.

add to that the whole world.
