Electrolist: Underground/overground clash again


"Many hydro projects are lined up for carbon credits across China at a potential cost of billions to Europeans and Japanese, but may do absolutely nothing to lower global-warming emissions."
Not surprising that China is using global good will and international agreements to line commie boss pockets and free up more funds to strengthen the PLgay.
China deserves nothing but the back 'o me hand.
you are too idiotic to realize, when one chinese eat one toast and one westerner eat three, it is west that needs a diet.
west can forget the words like "chinese pollution" for at least 3 years and be grateful china still emitt to keep world economy running, as all your economy is going minus or even bankrupt.
meanwhile i am happy to see your most hated pla growing in your most screw-up time, to make world more 'democratic'.
That westerner also consumes China's crappy exports to keep all of those Chinese employed. China wished for our fall and they got it, and they are coming along for the ride. Get ready for Obama to slap a "no made in China allowed" law on infrastructure upgrades.
you are not smart enough to know china's export only take 28% of gdp. what china's stimula plan of $580billion aiming is to change the structure of economy and lower export to a reasonable 15% (and partly reduce the pollution caused by ungrateful foreign consumers too).
i am looking forward to the day when americans will take back the nike sewing job under what you called as Obama's "no made in China allowed" law, in order your beloved president would be thrown by pair of home made shoes one day.
anyway to do some solid and sound jobs instead of swindling around with debt is a good start for americans to recover.
