China's going to be hit by an enormous number of cancer cases in a few years. [View all]
China's severe pollution makes pollution in America almost seem mild by comparison.
Starting perhaps around the year 2020 or so, China may get hit by an enormous number of cancer cases. There will be many, MANY cancer patients.
You can only pollute the land and air and water for so long before serious longterm health consequences settle in. I can only hope there are many medical students getting ready in China for a career as oncologists. Cancer specialists may be in extremely high demand.
