Polluted air, polluted water, polluted food, hidden poverty, blah, blah, ... and yet China's life expectancy is only 3 year shorter than America's (76 vs 79), and China's population is 4 times as bigger as America's. I will have to say, good job Chinese government!

Probably due to the trading all Chinese diet. Which has very little to do with the communist party, who are a very recent development.
traditional Chinese diet. Thanks autocorrect.
