China

[Mark Jones]

On the question of how wonderful or nor the Chinese state-capitalist boom
is, one good starting point is still Mark Hertsgaard's 1997 Atlantic Monthly
piece: "The price of China's surging economy is a vast degradation of the
environment, with planetary implications. Although the Chinese government
knows the environment needs protection, writes the author, who spent six
weeks inside China investigating the growing environmental crisis, it fears
that doing the right thing could be political suicide"
