This is just like Eastern Europe under Communism; until the people who have to live with it have the power to force a change, and the local officials have to answer to them for their jobs, and not to some distant Politico who never has to see the pollution, there will be no change.

The corruption that weaves between the Chinese government and industry won’t let change happen. Too much money to be made. Cancer villages, whole dead rivers, industrial sewage, ground water pollution, and heavy industrial air pollution are just the price of doing business.
