China, Asia
More Anti-Pollution Riots!
China is a beautiful country (when you can see it through the haze), but the traveler’s experience is too often ruined by the sight, smell, and taste (it really gets that bad sometimes) of the air.
Companies think only of profit, and their government supporters prevent new environmental laws. Of course, that’s not so different from the US (especially if Perry is elected and dismantles the EPA), but in China it has already spun so far out of control that the government won’t take action against the companies unless the people force them to.
