For my mental health, I haven't been keeping as close an eye on the news as I used to. Today, I learned about a Chinese chemical plant explosion which took place on November 13 and is now threatening Russian cities. It seems the Chinese plant dumped a buttload of Benzene into the river upon which it was located, and that river fed into another river which flows into Russia.Now, a city of 600,000 Russian people is facing a polluted water supply.
Right now, China is donating water testing equipment. Otherwise, they haven't done or promised anything more concrete than that.
I won't bore you with the details; you can look them up yourselves if you're interested. But this was a preventable accident. China is culpable. They better get off their asses and do something about it.
