| I recently read an article in an overseas newspaper criticising heavily the Chinese government for pollution in the Huai river area, where apparently many local residents have lost their lives due to cancer from the polluted drinking water in the area.
Apparently the Chinese government likes to say they have programs to reduce pollution there, but in reality this hasn't been implemented properly at all, with local governments that want to protect state owned businesses, and protect local taxation revenues and jobs. I have a quesiton for Cindy. I want to know what kind of restrictions are there for newspapers in China to write articles criticising the governments actions like this? These expose stories would be good for educating people about the real environmental problems... |
