My nephew was a finalist in a BBC Newsnight competition which required a short video relating to the environment.

His entry was on pollution by China and he suggested maybe we (the West?) were causing it.

It made me think, for sure!

AM off out now - back later :)

We have to be wary of consuming food products that are made in China as they maybe stacked with formalin.

In my country our health and food authorities are now testing food products coming from China including toothpaste that may contain heavy metals.

Four products will be recalled because of the findings that they are laced with formaldehyde.

Let me guess.

1- Lots of replicated products, made at a low cost, low quality, and lets not forget The peoples Republic still a Communist state.

2- Lots of pollutants in the ground water and air.

3- Good example of a hungry nation who lived dormant during the Peoples revolution and suddenly they realize that they are being left behind from the rest of the modern industrial world.

4- They surely are exploiting the natural resources of other poor countries that-are left behind with Bull-crap charity, weapons and civil engineering work. Example: Sudan and other African nations because of their Oil.
