Chinese authorities block reporting of wild Siberian tiger's death – China Environment

When talking with Chinese friends and co-workers about the pollution levels in Nanjing (awful compared to developed countries, but decent for Chinese cities), they are quick to point out that foreign companies in China are the ones that should be blamed for the filthy air.

China and Southeast Asian nations agreed on Wednesday on a "milestone document", a preliminary set of guidelines to resolve disputes in the South China Sea, and vowed to cooperate in marine environmental protection and safety of navigation.

Despite some progress in recent years, Chinese officials say that the nation still faces a “very grave” environmental situation, from industrial pollution that has triggered protests in numerous regions to a troubling decline in biodiversity.

China is either the greatest opportunity or the greatest threat that the U.S. green technology industry has ever faced, depending on who you've been listening to lately. But for entrepreneurs and investors intimately involved in China's green leap forward, the truth is somewhere in between those two extremes.
