There is indeed a high rate of lung cancer in Beijing but it is mostly due to smoking which is incredibly heavy in China. The government are doing next to nothing about this because of the money they rake in as a state monopoly. A Chinese friend says they also hope it will help reduce the population!! I am sure the environmentalists are aware of this. But can they do anything? Bob

Whoa! By pointing out the disaster from smoking in China I am not in any way seeking to lessen the other impending disaster from polution. Don't you think that man is the worst thing to happen to the planet earth? If I were a poor deluded Christian I would have to wonder if their creationist God were not really Satan in disguise!!
