Does he really need to go into the water to grab the dead fish? Seems like hes trying to pick the best out of the worst.

How the heck are they going to clean up before the Olympics? Some of those pictures look like those from anime/movies when they showed the factories, wow.

Not so different from when I visited Viet Nam. The air was fairly bad when riding a scooter through the packed streets, and city rivers are now shallow black streams.

People don't appreciate how true this could be. Coming to a market near you.

When you're in a restaurant eating fish how would you know? Fish balls, sushi, anything could be made from these and no one would be none the wiser.

The Guardian is increasingly seeming to be the UK's version of Fox News. Jeez, picture #9 is a picture of a sandstorm. And the satellite picture at #1 looks either photochopped or a very selective day. Go to a website like terraserver.com and look at some typical satellite photos of China.

Yes, some places stink, like right next to a factory. It's the same everywhere in the world. You think Hamilton smells nice? However, by and large, the air there is not as bad as the pictures make it out to be. Note how most of the pictures are narrow-angled shots.

Alright, the pictures taken are showing the worst conditions and they're clearly biased. But thats what the article and photographer set out to do anyways.

And it doesn't take much to bring out the haters from the woodwork. There's been a lot of China bashing going on for the past few month and frankly its beginning to get very tiring.
