China’s Crash Course with Catastrophe

Living in China is like watching a train wreck. Its like watching two big clumsy sloughing trains approach each other at very high speeds but nothing can be done, so you sit and await the catastrophe. For instance in China the water shortage is so sever that 33 feet cracks in the farm land in the northeast have appeared. Drought plagued the southwest leaving millions without water. In Beijing the water table has dropped from 11 to 24 meters within the past couple of decades. In the northeast Chinese farming city of Chifeng, 62% of the cities 51 water reservoirs are bone dry. The reason, like almost all problems in China is the greed and the increasing consumerism, which is also leading to the excess pollution. The chicoms are becoming rich and no one wants to be left out so they throw up manufacturing plants and spew toxic waste into the air and water all just to make a buck, the race is on to get rich. Then returning to the water problesm, China’s usage of wter and dams is cutting off water to Bangladesh, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, India, Thailand and Vietnam. But they are China, the center country and worried about angering their citizenry so the Chinese pay them no heed. The world Bank warns of the coming disaster if nothing is done about these problems, but its China. The race is on. In a country that has for thousands of years been abused by the emperors, they are as Jackie Chan stated, ‘not ready for democracy’. They live in a make believe world of controlled anarchy where its each man for himself and dam the rest. Call me a nay sayer, but this place seems like its bursting at the seams. But dont worry, all of those Chinese at your universities come, no doubt, from very good chicom families who are diverting their wealth to the west waiting for the apocalypse to come so that they can move and leave this waste heap they are creating.
