Undoubtedly the Chinese care on some level about the environment. But they
care more about catching up to the West in terms of industry and economy.
The US Embassy in Beijing has an air monitor on its roof. They publish the
quality of the city's air on Twitter. It's not something the Chinese
government appreciates because it's rarely good. Have a click and you'll

As long as we can get cheap stuff, nobody gives a shit :-)
When in question, when in doubt, follow the MONEY

Yep, so long as you can sell more shit, so long as
you can buy shit cheaper ... there'll be high rhetoric
but nothing's gonna change fundamentally.
Reaching "tomorrow" means getting through *today* ...
and you need money and stuff to do that. That idea of
the ocean rising six inches in the next 100 years -
that's FOREVER from now, not really on anyones
radar.
