Chinese visitors to a notorious village street in Hubei province were recently met with a shocking scene.
With no municipal waste disposal service whatsoever, and no initiative on the part of residents, the garbage is simply dumped on the side of the street, abutting a river (itself already polluted).
However, dense clouds of flies soon form, so someone sets fire to the refuse to drive them off.
This causes the rubbish to burn slowly for days, spreading a disgusting miasma of smoke from burning filth and plastic throughout the area, which happens to be used by children on their way to school and students on their way to university.
After the rubbish is burnt off, fresh rubbish is dumped on top and the cycle repeats.
This “waste management” approach has apparently been used for many years, with no end in sight.

They better wearing NBC mask
LOL @ first guy face expression
China u did it again!
lool tell me , how is replacing communism with a federal republic going to help this?
i love how most of you guys always drag politics into this kind of s♥♥t.
if you cared so much why dont you guys just join the government, ran for president, and invade china and change it yourselves?
Indeed. It’s because of capitalism that these problems exist in the first place. In a purely socialist society, which is possible only in theory, this type of s♥♥t wouldn’t happen. Believe it or not, the current Chinese government does fight political and corporate corruption through strict regulations and monitoring policies, but the sheer number of people in the country makes it highly difficult. If you swap the government for a more western-style democracy, issues like these would get worse before they improve.
Even more idiotic are people talking about people “killing the government”. And then what? Who’s going to run things? What do you think would happen to the global economy? Rising up in anarchy has seldom led to positive improvements historically, and I don’t see how it will work in a country like China. Of course, it’s a better idea than the usual discriminatory remarks about “kill all Chinese” and “drop a nuke on China” comments here.
And let’s be honest, people take these isolated tidbits of news about China to represent the country and its people as a whole. Granted, there ARE other places in China that are probably just as bad or worse, but if you actually tried, you’d find the opposite as well. Those who judge everything by a few examples are no better than the douche bag censorship advocates that think Japan is inhabited by rabid rapists and child molesters.
Never fear, The Incinerator’s here! Your odorless waste disposal superhiro! Da-laa da-laaa! Jan ja-jaaaaan!
