I'm glad to hear that China is trying to avert ecological disaster.. but it needs to turn its back on western style industrialization and rates of consumption...

[lofi73]

I totally agree!.They take first place in ecological disasters.

@thpt Mandate vasectomies. And, for religionists and anthropogenic global warming deniers and banksters and other financial terrorists: cut off their balls without anesthesia. Then torture them. Then kill them.

That is the only way.

@agricola Oh yeah, well then you should take a trip to the Russian area and you will find out that most of the people there are Chinese and not Russian.

@maomao667 LOLZ, we have a MUCH better environmental record than china has ever even aspired to. keep dreaming my delusional chinese freind.

[agricola]

@chairde never gonna happen, unless chinese prefer china to be a giant sheet of radioactive glass and their babies to be born with three arms and glowing in the dark.

@blacksnow03 China is one of the largest consumers AND producers of wood products... So how exactly are they bringing back the trees?

[vallonia]

Sick n tired of junk mail through my door, how many trees does that cost????

@thegreendestiny Are you telling me that China doesn't have any nukes nor means to deliver the nukes? Most of the laborers now in that part of Russia are Chinese anyway. It is slowly being seceded over to the Chinese. Russia can't hold onto these empty regions any more.

[thegreendestiny]

@chairde Lol, Russia would make a nuclear wasteland out of China if that happens.
