        @WSJ Reminds me of Chinese beer. I'd buy a beer can over there and it would literally say "Between 3% to 6%" for the alcohol content.

        @dbecktweets this is human rights violations on an exponential scale. china has never cared about its people - there's just too many of 'em.

        @lindaong100 @dbecktweets sounds like Chinese economics employs the "law of diminishing return" when valuing their own people. Sad

        @WSJ Environmentalists have been focused on the wrong hemisphere. China has poisoned itself while destroying millions of US jobs.

        @WSJ other arable land sources with access to china ports will become more valuable real estate. Think Africa!
