I'm just recalling after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was discovered that the environment was ignored in favor of manufacturing, mining, energy pursuits, etc. With China's explosive growth as well as increasing position in the world economy, do we know whether they take any environmental precautions? Is there any conservation? I recall reading about a hydro-power project (seven gorges? three gorges?) where a dam was built which relocated over a million people. The flooded towns- were they cleaned up prior to being submerged? Does anyone (or CAN anyone) monitor the environment there?
