Yes, unfortunately this is all a direct result of China's opening its economy

and joining WTO.

The multinationals are moving in in very big way. You can find Danone and Nestle

advertisements now in the remotest corners of this vast country.

Factory farming and the westernisation of Chinese lifestyles are proceeding

apace.

There are more Chinese people now interested in these issues but there is a

large part of the population who do not have the education and knowledge with

which to withstand the slick advertising campaigns.

China is going to pay a huge price for joining WTO. The rich will get richer

but the masses will pay with their health and the degradation of their

environment.
