I am reminded of the "great leap forward" because of it's extreme stupidity and carelessness. Now that the world is watching and the communist party wants to make some suck up concessions and is maybe realizing that IT will die too if the environment perishes, it is trying to turn back. If it were an honest mistake or if that country had had a party change since all those idiotic man made disasters I wouldn't mind as much, but it's still the same flagrant marxist propaganda bulloney that controls China and make total fools and slaves of the Chinese people.
Some people would say I am anti-China. Those people are victims, thinking that the party is great glorious and correct because they have been able to make profits off of the exploitation and so follow that notion to believe that the party is good for China. The party has kept China in a really pathetic state.
Sorry for my outburst, but totalitarian dictatorship caused environmental destruction really makes me feel bad.
Peace.
Well, i'm not sure totalitarian dictatorship had everything to do with this mess, not that i think its right by any means. My family were mostly kansas farmers where i grew up and all survivers of americas dust bowl. Keep in mind that america is considered a democracy and we, due to dumb practices by us farmers, had allowed this to happen also. Why the chinese didnt learn for our mistake could have been from lack of education on thier part on land cultivation/irrigation. Actually the chinese government seems to be putting into effect the same countermeasures as the USA government had done in the 30s. Yes i am a son of a farmer and all the old farmers where i lived will admit that for the most part poor farming practices and drought was the main cause. If anything regulation that wasnt in effect is the only thing a government could have done to avoid this. But what do governments know about farming?
