A Chinese visitor to the “dragon boat races” held recently on China’s southern island of Hainan was speechless when confronted by the beautiful beaches the tropical island is famed for.
Via Heaven.
Although China enjoys impressive rates of economic growth on paper, economists generally treat this figures with scepticism, particularly where the colossal human and environmental cost of China’s rush for growth is concerned; smog and disgusting sites such as these are the visible symptoms of such problems.
Adjusting for such externalities, China’s real rate of growth could be significantly lower, and it is certain that at some point in the future the cost of treating people and cleaning up the mess will be felt, and it will likely not come cheap…

That's a good one.
That won't do pig, that won't do.
jesus christ...
how can they bear to swin in that toxic sludge??
even captain planet cant save that place now.
o.o oh my
btw the people actually go into the water??
so that's where H5N1 and SARS came from...
If the beach are like that now IMAGINE THE FOOD !!!
so beautiful is the most beautiful i ever seen
....and people wonder why no one likes the commies...
Despite being a communist country, communism has lost much of its meaning to the people.
Chinese communism is an oxymoron.
Then again, "communism" was never real to begin with, only a label that autocrats hide their manipulation of the masses behind.
Some might call this a dumb I call it a treasure trove for the "free" people.
I've been to China and I saw very little garbage. It was actually much cleaner then it is here in the USA. (minus the bathrooms... XD) Something tells me the photo is shopped...
Saying this site isn't racist to China (or any Asian country that isn't Japan) is ridiculous. Why are there never any articles with the GOOD points about China/Korea/etc.? (besides a rare "CHINA HAS HANDJOB HOSPITALS!!! :O")
Isn't this site supposed to be about Japan?
You need to educate yourself about what the word racist means and quit throwing it around in situations where it doesn't apply.
Just another persecution complex Chinese.
The photos came from a Chinese forum, and were posted by a disgusted Chinese tourist. I don' think they were shopped.
The most amusing aspect for me of an interpretation of Japan's portrayal as being strictly positive is the tacit acceptance of sexual predation that suggests.
You're even worse, with your false sympathy and moral delusions.
Get real.
This site pretty much all about sensationalism, with some articles that have headlines that are inaccurate, to say the least.
I too am puzzled why almost every China-related article is negative. Is it because they and Japan are rivals, and this is an otaku website? That's a terrible bias.
And even Japan-related articles here that aren't related to anime or idol worship are positive? Take off your blinders.
You’re even worse, with your false sympathy and moral delusions.
Get real.
lol if you're aiming at me I'm "being real" sensationalism is present everywhere in the media, YOU should be the one to get real.
I'd explain more my points but you're honestly not worth it, so yeah keep believing whatever you want.
dude
Its like press IRL,
who gives a shit about constant,normal,happy news and the best touristic spots anywhere in the world?
Controversial stuff is totally valid and atracts more readers.
Um, actually, no, Artefact. ^_^ I am 0% Chinese. ;) I just find it disgusting that nearly every article related to China (and other countries, to a lesser extent) are negative.
And yeah, there are "less developed" areas than in some of the places of China, but most of them aren't nearly this bad. You make it sound like everywhere you go you will see piles of garbage, kids crapping on the ground, and middle schoolers raping five year-olds. China isn't as terrible as this site makes it out to be. (but yes, it DOES have problems)
Um, I think he/she was going for the cynical/sarcastic angle on that comment.
lol? china is in the hole right now because of a variety of reasons, and i highly doubt that this site is "biased negatively towards China" or "promoting Japan as better then the rest of the world". this is a site for interesting news, and this is an interesting story, and if youve noticed, there are a fair amount of horrid stories from japan as well, such as the one about the gang rapers getting off scott free and one of them even applying to be a teacher, only people that have the thought process equivalent of a Japanophile would think that this site promotes a Japanese superiority complex.
every country has its faults, just some have more blatant ones. plus its hard to get many stories out of China these days... ever since they started the whole crackdown on journalists in China for the 20th anniversary of the Tienanmen Square Massacre. oh, the chinese government is so predictable... just like a 10 year old bully... though im not saying that other countries arnt pulling bullcrap as well.
From dictionary.com:
"rac⋅ism
1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races."
(see 3)
With articles like "Chinese government hates MMORGs", "China tracks ISPs", and "China's Beautiful *coughcough* Beaches" (this one), how isn't there racism here?
Either you are confusing racism with sensationalism, or you are doing this on purpose.
Quit trolling.
Shut up you stupid, dirty little chink. How's that for racism.
It's not so much racism as much as it is simply a cultural hatred of a country that doesn't conform to Western standards, which the Western countries insist are universal.
So there may be good places in China, there may be innovative Chinese products, but you'll never hear about it on TV or anywhere in "mainstream" websites because they feel a compulsive need to create and maintain a dirty, backwards, and generally inferior image of China.
Then again, this is a site mostly devoted to Japan, so the editors probably share some Japanese world views. I wouldn't be particularly surprised even if this site officially supported the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
freedom of speech, religion, and party association is universal. If Communism is really for the people why can't the people criticize it and seek improvements without being run over by a tank?
Because the Chinese government is about as 'communist' or benevolent as every other authoritarian oligarchy that has ever emerged from human civilization?
I think this discussion in general is all besides the point. While any number of people might see these images and feel a twinge of nationalistic superiority, the real takeaway is that the Chinese have to live with that shit and it's terrible. As long as any nation is willing to defect from environmental regulation and accept being the world's garbage dump the location of disposal may change but the practice will remain. People in general have to pay for adequate waste disposal and a lack of cooperation on the issue just results in the can being kicked down the road.
Weird, for a moment there I thought this was a Philippine beaches gallery.
somebody call captain planet...
Captain Planet, he's a hero gonna take pollution down to zero!
Don't forget that all our powers must be combined first to call Cap. Planet.
Several years passed, I don't see one yet. ; ;
Not even he can help clean that godforsaken beach up.
I feel that there is no use of making people become intelligent.
They just believe the side that their government is on and use all their life to support this even it's simple BS.
Putting things in context...
1- Yes, it's a disgusting beach
2- It's ONE beach alone. And it's sad that some people would be surprized to know, most countries have places exactly like that one.
3- If China is in such a state, with all the environmental problems it has, all developed countries are to blame, because they are the ones doing it.
It's the corporations on developed countries that explore cheap work and spends nothing on the whole environmental issue.
Playing along and actually feeding a dictatorship that censors what's truly happening in China so they can keep exploiting the chinese labor and keep ignoring laws and the environment.
And in the end of all the chain, are we consumers buying cheap clothes, electronics, and whatever, financing such beautiful sceneries.
So maybe some people there sould think twice before judging the current state of China or it's beaches...
Actually, it is the Chinese who are responsible for all this. They could have been poor and underdeveloped, but no, those unreasonable souls decided to get rich by industrialising.
then Canada or USA shall be living without cars, tv, computers and factories. you can't just blame the countries who is only follow the others.
countries have no rights to stop or blame other countries if they are the first.
Oh... It's the worst place I could imagine... Our City is a Heaven...
many people think America is the biggest polluter in the world. The truth is it's China. Thank God you don't live downstream of the ganji, when china flushes india gets it.
Sure, some people have a right to hate America. Every country is hated by someone, but generally...
1. They're people living in different countries hearing biased news, and have never actually been here so they're uneducated about America.
2. They live here, but it's lyke...kewl to haet America and Bush, rite?? ANARCHAYYY
Of course, there's people that don't find America for them, and they'd rather live somewhere else, but they have no right to bash America/Americans.
I live in America, in Maryland, and I think that it's beautiful. Where I live is clean, and we keep it clean. Of course any city big city will be dirty, like Baltimore, but everywhere else is wonderful. I used to live in Alaska, and when I moved, I took a trip to Canada since I was close to the border. The people there are wonderful, but their cities were more clean than American cities when I went there, and pollution in Canada is becoming a bigger problem than before.
TL;DR Bashing of America really isn't deserved, since every place has problems with being dirty.
Whoops, meant were no more clean.
I don't think America's the best place to live in the world like some people think, but no place is a paradise.
the problem is the level of ignorance. the USA is a nice place, but that doesnt mean its perfect, same with many other countries. the thing to get annoyed at is the fact that the USA has blatant problems, yet most of the people either dont know about them, or refuse to acknowledge the fact that there are problems.
that's exactly like Tanjung priok.
parrraaaaaaaahhhhh.....
lebih parah dari pantai Ancol - Indonesia
zannen da....
Pantai Ancol masih JAUH lebih bersih, oi :P
Thats an obvious Photoshop
Look real to me.
but wait, I thought china was cleaner than Indonesia ?
i like it!
OMG!Hey maybe I can find One piece there.
Whoa, that's a paradise XD
OMG !!!
This makes me suddenly glad I live in Hawaii.
(Hint: Our tourist trap Waikiki has state/city owned contractors that clean shit like that up every few days.)
H1N1 anybody?
Russia was also known for being one of the largest polluters (granted things have gotten better since the Soviet Empire fell apart) its not uncommon for dictatorships to have lax environmental laws.
jajaj los chinos son pobres por q quieren, no saben cuanto podian ganar reciclando esas bolsas XD
Look at those slant-eyed bastards chillin' in their own shit and fuckin' enjoyin' it too. Makes me sick.
china people are pig people
i could say that all american continental better beach that asian :D
we have caribean beach, they no XD
da greenpeace should come and clean the place. They are eco heroes, aren't they?
pic 12 hot loli, this post is not completely boring
i thought Mexico was bad
Shouldn't it be "disgusting sights" instead of "disgusting SITES", or is this a clever pun?
I'm seeing a lot of plastic bags, they could use that to clean up the trash. When they're done, they could pile it up and light it ablaze. :| I'm also seeing recyclables, don't they recycle and have cash redemption like in USA? I'm also seeing clothing that seem in very good condition.. :(
wtf???
=/
一群2B
Shit fuck gross.
I love how they're just chilling, smiling and sitting on all the trash.
It's just another happy day at their beautiful beach.
THey are just filthy, and they are spoiling everything, Jackie Chan is right, they should be stopped. it makes me wander how did they managed to get accepted to held the past Olympics
It's fucking hilarious, because they're all sitting there as if the trash doesn't even exist. If it were me, I would at least have the decency clear out a little spot to chill in, but people are pretty much sitting in the shit. I honestly don't think I've seen a dirtier country than China.
Do not make judgments such as that. This is all these people have ever known. They grew up in this toxic sludge. To them it's just another day at the beach. If your looking to be a dick, at least have the decency to fuck the perpetrators instead of the victims.
No, they're just lazy.
Wow. This makes New Jersey look good.
Is this really Hainan Island, I thought it was more like this: http://www.showchina.org/en/CultureNews/Tourism/200901/W020090113521574423193.jpg
You can't be serious about this. How can they chill under such condition?
Back to nature?
Wow...World's ending just appears before my eyes.
China is trying to copy the New Jersey shoreline. So far, they are doing a pretty decent job.
You call this dump a "beach"?? D: Gawd...
The guro tag was amusing, but sadly it suits those images.
I'm pretty sure something guro happened to the innocent girl in pic 12...
http://www.marel.is/resources/Images/products/mincedmeat_ai_large.jpg
Guro actually stands for Gruesome not Gore so it doesn't always need blood to be tagged as Guro. Even scats are considered as guro...
Grotesque.
Oh yea, my bad ^_^"
Well if China invest there time and money wisely they could make the Beach look new again.
wtf
I couldn't make a dirtier beach if I tried. Maybe just throw in a few decomposing bodies and it'd be perfect.
wooo.. that was a scary beach... even the water become black and they are playing and swimming there and not worried anything... that beach like a garbage dump...
that's far worse than the worst that i have seen
The only thing that comes to mind, for me, is if they ever vacationed to a really nice beach.
"Mommy, where are all the dead birdies covered in gunk and all the fun toy cans? I DUN LIKE THIS PLACE!"
Because, honestly, the children seem fairly happy there...
I thought Mumbai's beaches were bad. They are a sandy paradise compared to this.
I know that the Chinese have a lot of pride in their country, but it is very perplexing that they are constantly taking a shit on it.
oh crap... and i thought the Ganges River was bad...
OMG! IS SO BEATIFUL!
now I know where I will go on vacations xD
"A Chinese visitor to the “dragon BALL races” held recently on China’s southern island of Hainan was speechless when confronted by the beautiful beaches the tropical island is famed for."
Fixed
Wow...
I've been to Hainan, the part that looks like Hawaii.
This must be the shittiest part of the island.
Yes, the beach is beautiful!
The future of Wall-E is closer than we think.
way to recycle comments, Ryoko :p
OHSHI----
All I see is the pure, unadulterated joy on that little girl's face at getting to spend a wonderful day at the beach.
it's quite sad, really =<
