China's smog driving top foreign executives away: U.S. business survey

It is true.. Shanghai and China seemed like the center of a new world order... until you could see the air and realize that is not glamorous or healthy. When you see 1,000 pigs floating down the river you question also what is in the food and how is it handled. When you read that kids in US are getting sick from plastic toys. When you hear that friends pets died because of eating dog food from China you wonder ... Soilent Green is People!!! Now China is moving 100 million more peasant farmers into the cities because they don't have enough immigrant or child labor. You project ahead what happens when a society grows too fast and greed is always at the core of development, food management and general public wellness. It is still a good time to invest in domestic growth in China as people start to eat fast foods, want a western lifestyle like Japan did many years ago. They need to impose mandate to use of electric cars, scooters and amp up infrastructure using solar energy if it is possible to see the sun through the poison cloud... that will also drift over Japan.. xie xie China...

The Misses is fairly high up in her company (I'm a nobody). She has told me on more than on occasion that there is no amount of money that could convince her to work anywhere in China, mostly because of the pollution.

I've been sent on business. Refuse to be based there. Wouldn't dream of wasting vacation time trying to see anything, at least for now in the north east. Hopefully they'll get it under control in the enar future.
