Hence why I put "enforced" in parentheses. What use is an EPA if the regulations aren't enforced? Also, China does have a court system where citizens can sue companies for damages. However, it too is full of corruption and these people are all likely far too poor and too uneducated to afford or even realize they have that capability... Which is a problem with China's lack of a decent public education system. What we take for granted in the U.S. is completely lacking in many parts of the world. -Riskable http://riskable.com "I have a license to kill -9" That is what I said: Corruption is the biggest problem.

China has its own version of the EPA. The problem is that there is no civil avenue to seek compensation for damages. Also I was able to tind the name of the smelter in question: Hui Xian Nonferrous Metals Sheltering Co. How much you wanna bet that government officials own controlling stock in this company??? -Solid It seems to me the problem is not lack of oversight. China has its own version of the EPA.
