The shorter builing to the right (the one with the handle) looks just like a really cool cheese grater I have.

Highest emitter of CO2 in the world? Check
Highest emitter of CO2 per unit of GDP generated? Check
6x the generation of CO2 per ton of steel produced? Check (Here in the "getting out asses kicked" USA, we produce around .3 tons of CO2 per ton of steel produced, in China it's more in the 1.8 to 1.9 tons of CO2 per ton of steel)
Notoriously ineffecient user of energy? Check
Rampant air-quality issues? Check (Beijing, pre and post Olypics had air quality anywhere from 2x to 6x as poor as L.A. . . . and those are the numbers the government is willing to release)
Notorious subsidizer of industries and currencies in direct violation of WTO rules? Check
Little to no safety rules/regulation in the workplace? Check (by some estimates, approximately 300 people PER DAY die in coal mines in China -- but I suppose that's OK, 'cause they're building REALLY COOL skyscrapers)
Press, TV, and Internet censorship? Check
Egregious human rights violations and mass executions for "crimes against the state"? Check
Yeah, they are TOTALLY kicking our asses . . .
While I do comment here from time to time, I'm seldom compelled to respond to someone else's comments . . . unless said comments are as ridiculous as yours. How 'bout we give you a pass for trying to be sarcastic, maybe too young, or too dumb to do a little research or reading before comments?
Also, the next time you feel compelled to comment on politics, please find a political forum on which to write them. This blog is about GADGETS and other cool technology-related stuff, not about your lack of understanding of international politics and political agenda around pro-choice, energy policy, or the like.
Now, back to bed for you without your milk and cookies.
