With China's economy growing at 8-12 percent a year I'd think they could afford to implement some enviornmental standards without too large a drag on their economy. They have exchange reserves of $1 trillion dollars In fact they could initiate a whole new profitable business of enviornmentalism technology and products. That's what the west is asked to do. China could at least put some scrubbers on their smokestacks. Time to mature if they are sitting at the table.
