China Faces 'Very Grave' Environmental Situation
Although China has met its goals set by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, it still faces an ugly situation. Rural areas are becoming more polluted due to dirty industries moving into the area. China previously feared unrest within the people about their economic situation, but are now facing protests regarding rural areas. Local governments are at times aiding companies move illegally onto lands set aside as reserves. Mr. Li, the vice minister, stated that "In some of these areas that are very fragile, we will strictly limit development." Let's hope they stick to that!
