Stunning photos of China
 

By stunning, I mean it in a bad way. Hopefully this is already rock bottom and wont go any lower.

Wow.....

Caption that came with that picture:

Can you imagine... going there to work for 2 years and get cancer right after? The medical bills probably exceeds the wage made.

my point was.. some places in china are clean. I was trying to point out that not all of China was that polluted for those who has never been to China.

take a look at Zhong Jiang. That place is pretty clean, even though the water is not as clean as the water here.

you measure a country to its poorest place not the most developed cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen.

what those picture shows is that China still has a long way to go before truly becoming a real global power house despite what the GDP might say

I'm sure the U.S. and Europe were probably similarly filthy when they were industrializing; we just weren't around to see it then. China's probably worse though with all the fucked up chemicals that have been invented since then.

wow that looks pretty crazy... I wonder if it will be cleaned up further into the future?

that's shitty doesn't the government pay attention to these issues?

Oh humanity, how silly you are.

China is disgusting, and this is just one of the many ways.

But in other ways, it's an amazing, beautiful country.

Which is what makes me so sad :(

I guess we live in the best city in the world then

I would rather live in skid row off the streets with welfare and social service than in the chemical dump knowing I will get cancer within 2 years.

If you think that is really bad, you really need to do some traveling.

no different than when the western world when it was our turn.

But back then no one knew better know we do.

a country in development is bound to have developmental problems such as pollution. let's hope china cleans up their act and quickly!

Yes, hope. That will fix everything!
