Now that China has moved from > bicycles to motor cars I see more gray skies ahead. Perhaps not. China is now leading the world in green technology. I think the dictatorial leaders in China have realized that with 1.2 billion people, if they behave like the profligate polluters and wasters in Western society, the world truly would be destroyed. They've just glommed onto the idea of a free market capitalistic society and I doubt they are planning on destroying it with pollution. We'd better learn how to deal with the Chinese in a respectful way because it's not going to be very long before they are the #1 economic power in the world. I believe it was one of the Rothschilds who said they cared not what military power can do, give them control of the economy and they will rule the world. (A paraphrasing.)
