  • As Beijing residents are told to limit time outside because of pollution, some of the 10 million residents in Shinjiazhuang, China's most polluted city, who are forced to wear masks every day, are starting to fight back. Asia Correspondent John Sparks reports.

    1. Water crisis leading to food crisis and civil wars.
    2. Millionaires leaving due to pollution.
    3. Air pollution which causes global warming which leads to the depletion of their sources of water.
    4. Rapidly aging population which leads to lack of young workers to render services in the future which also leads to more expensive workforce.
    5. Cancer cities.
    6. The ire of other countries affected by China's pollution.
    7. Their severe disrespect for other territories and the destruction of one of the most important sources of fish due to their greed.
    8. Bad investments on housing.
    China is self-destructing.

    I remember in Sydney Australia the smog we had in the 60s and 70s.
    Was much worse before then as we had coal fired generation spewing out soot only 5km from the city center.
    It took the experts 100 years to put the power stations out west of the blue mts and run power wires into the city...
    Today you cant buy a bag of coal if your life depended on it but we export millions of tonnes every year.
