Every time I see coverage like this of China I think, "That was us, 25 to 40 years ago." I remember my first trip to Chicago in the 1970's and my impression was miles of smoke-belching factories and not enjoying our visit to Lake Michigan because of all the dead fish washed up on the beach.
Fast-forward to today and Chicago's beaches and rivers are far cleaner and there are a lot fewer belching factories.
Sadly, China is making all the same mistakes we did (but on 10x the scale) instead of learning from our mistakes.
