Waste Management, Chinese Style

chinese-waste-management-hubei-11.jpg

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.

    You don't want to know how long they'd have to work to buy those gas masks.. Unless it would be China Quality mask.

    Once again it's proved: China is a huge pile of shit and most Chinese are too retarded to kill off the fucking government.

    Now this may not occur to you but "killing off governments" is not exactly easy, especially when said government has lots of things like "guns."

    When you have about 1.4 BILLION people in the country, I think that they kind of outnumber the government just a little bit.

    Even if all they had to work with were pointy sticks and rocks, they could overthrow the government. Plus as an added bonus they would make a huge contribution to fighting the ever increasing population issue.

    it's not that easy in many many ways.
    it makes me also wonder if companies and manufacturers would want to prevent such a revolution.

    Well, those all 1.4 billion could commit suicide on the same day. Government would automatically fall right after that.

    People like being alive. People don't like pain. Convincing a mass of people to rush into the teeth of death is very, very difficult.

    if you blindfold them and tell them they are going to america, but have them walk straight into a volcano, they might...

    that would also work with even american's themselves!

    hell... why dont we all just blindfold each other and walk around for a whole day nonstop... what a day that would be

    Well, there`s similar situation in Italy, in Naples to Apulia area, where politicians gave waste management responsibility to the mafia, because "they will do it cheaply". So mafia takes
    tax money for collecting trash from towns and disposing it along the roads. Berlusconi, who will kill him now, when the mafia is "protecting"?

    I'm going to have to say that even on those "help, my home is a mess, save me!" episodes you see from time to time on talk shows like Oprah that even those people don't have to burn their trash to make room for new ones.

    have you taken a good look at the bronx or brooklyn? u see those black things wandering around?

    I would eat the garbage there than live with those wandering black things if I could but unfortunatly i don't have the biological setup as a bacteria so i won't survive if i start eating.

    Anyway the pictures you see are not taken in cities but rather tiny farming villages in very poor areas.

    China's big cities are just as good as manhattan, just as expensive too.

    Dude China is a big country. There are many villages and about half are like Gettos like in the "U.S." I will admit that China and their gov't is an ass but don't take it out on the people that try to live their daily lives

    P.S. Don't spit on somebody's comment unless you actually seen the whole China for yourself.

    No! Our line in the sand is terribly important!

    You have to remember that the Chinese sometimes get whipped up into a strong enough nationalistic furor that their own government steps in to disrupt it. That is, the government is afraid of its supporters.

    Nationalism is always a bit strange.

    dude, if some outer fag tells us inner fags (americans) that we have riots everyday 2 days, it must be true. We just arent looking hard enough i guess.

    Maybe he means both North and South America. They might not be riots every two days but I'm sure there's some sort of shit going down by drug cartels over in Mexico and Columbia and whatnot.

    Depends. If it smells a little burnt and highly toxic it's probably just garbage from chinese streets.

    I'll repost here what I wrote on Desuchan about this topic:
    "
    Whine all they want, but China really is horribly polluted. It's partly our fault for consuming products from Chinese factories, but it's also clear that their government honestly does not give a flying fuck about Chinese people suffering and dying in the name of profit. They've traded Mao for Dickens.
    Edit: I have to say, also, that the apologists for the Chinese dictatorship are nothing more than little Quislings. A true patriot is one who stands for the people even against the government.
    "

    Reading a piece of news and you think this is what is happening right now in China? Everywhere in China?

    Well I gotta say that America is such a dreamworld where there is no garbage, no rape, and no discrimination. Hooray!
