Try talking with someone who grew up in China, not Americans who traveled there. The culture is different, but the government even more so. Remember this is a communist government which none the less worships at the altar of capitalism. A lot of behavior is illegal yet expected or even demanded. Leaders are more interested in getting wealthy or influential or even safe and less interested in wide ranging fixes to the country until there is no other way. Also realize that most of the population that matters lives in a narrow band near the ocean and sometimes in terrible geography where screwing up water or air is easy. One thing might help in the long run, bad water and air affects everyone including the politicians who might someday realize they have to do something. You can ignore a river of dead pigs if you live elsewhere but choking on air is fairly universal.
