China's Environmental Problem

Marginal Revolution points us to a great article in the Washington Monthly about China's environmental problem. Pollution has been rampant, and the government can't control it on its own. So what is it doing? Empowering NGOs and individuals to do a lot of the work for them. It's a strategy that must work, or else China is in trouble.

P.S. On bad days, 25% of smog in L.A. originates from China. Didn't know that.
