World's Worst Toxic Dump

In China, pollution is everywhere. After a chemical factory exploded and polluted the Songhua River.
The citizens of Harbin waited for tanker trucks to deliver water to them as about 100 tons of toxic chemicals have been floating down the Songhua River ever since an explosion in Jilin which released highly toxic compounds which would kill more than 10 million people downstream in Russia. The communist party responds using the same old Stalinist approach. In Harbin, as with the SARS crisis two years ago, authorities initially tried to downplay the true scope of the disaster.

Other rivers in China are turning into sewers, toxic soup splashes through the country's waterways, while people living along the banks die from cancer at above-average rates. This is a result of industrialization. According to official statistics, 350 Chinese die each day in industrial accidents, but the unofficial figure is likely to be much higher. This shows another problem as people are making use of the revenue for their own usage like cars and villas and not on workers safety. China would soon surpass the United States as the world's largest producer of greenhouse gases as about 400,000 people die prematurely each year because of the polluted air they breathe.

After reading this article, i felt that China is really having a serious problems with the environment." Polluted" is the only word to describe their water sources and air. I also remembered reading the article on the Chinese government asking workers to spray the grass green just to beautify the country as pollution has caused the plants to wither. The Chinese government should really start reflecting on how to deal with pollution correctly and stop fooling both the citizens and the world. Take for example the chemical factory explosion. I am glad that the Chinese government did actually do something about it and helped the citizens. Instead of really thinking of ways to stop future explosions and telling citizens the ways, they actually made use of this opportunity to actually garner the support citizens by giving water. To further trick the world and their citizens that the country is great, they actually downplayed the true scope of the disaster.

 I feel that the government should actually also educate the people as some of them are corrupted. Like what the article had  stated; some of the people actually used the companies revenue for their own "wants" and "needs" . China is reach in tradition and they believe in Confucianism; and yet they do not even practice what Confucius had said. All in all, i just think that China's government should think of ways to reduce the pollution and stop in a sense " corruption" within companies.
