Not entirely true. They have regulations, and again, they are currently the world leader in clean air technology.
Look folks, I have been over there and done business with them. Do bribes happen? Hell yeah, same as they do everywhere else in the world. Only when ya get caught, its not a slap on the wrist.
Are they polluting? Sure, same as we are. Big difference is that instead of wasting thier tax dollars on bullshit like solar energy, electric cars that no one wants or even work, etc. they are spending those dollars on reconstruction, technological advances that actually work, etc.
Do they have issues? Oh yeah, big time. Would I want to live there? Not really I have an apartment there and my wifes family owns a couple more, but since I am a Southern Tennessee Hilljack I dont really fit in over there, although I have a good time when I visit.
