Make in India-boon or bane?

Smoke from China crosses the Pacific like a high altitude balloon and reached West coast of USA in three days flat"and comes down as ACID RAIN.

Californian wine tastes like shit today.

11,000 km2 of China's cultivated land have been polluted, with contaminated water being used to irrigate a further 23000 km2. and another 1,500 km2 have been covered or destroyed by solid waste-
China produces 2.75 million tons of DEADLY electronic waste.

According to the Chinese Ministry of Health, industrial pollution has made cancer China's leading cause of death. 535 million people in China are without safe and clean drinking water. A large section of the ocean is without marine life because of massive algal blooms caused by the high nutrients in the water.

420,000 Chinese people die each year from ambient air/ water pollution, mostly of heart disease and lung cancer. Large scale use of DEADLY TOXIN formaldehyde has been released by Zionist industries indiscriminately.

Chinese electronics suppliers Foxconn Technology Group has SEVERELY POLLUTED chinese rivers and underground water aquifers.

Foul smelling dirty toxic water of black-green color and a chemical odor have been dumped from Foxconn plants TWICE A DAY into the Huangcangjing and Hanputang rivers -- which feed into the Yangtze and Huangpu rivers.

Trojan Horse NGOs take care of softening politicians. They hire BRIBED third party to inspect the water quarterly. -

Today 63 million acres of China's arable land is polluted with heavy metals due to electronics factories.

FOXXCON IS AN APPLE SUPPLIER ANd have a lot of clout.

The Taiwan-based Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., (also known by its trading name, Foxconn), has been violating labour rights for many years. But hey, Zionist owned Human rights Orgs always give them a clean chit. Foxconn employs about 1.2 million workers in China"and they get BANANA REPUBLIC TERMS .

Chinese workers are kept in the dark like mushrooms - they are often exposed to harmful and BIOACCUMULATIVE substances without being informed. Disturbing odours which cause immediate respiratory problems and gas leaks have frequently occurred in many locations.

I wonder why Greenpeace doesn't have a problem with these ultra-polluting industries.

China is a dictatorship that very strictly controls who enters its territory. It has consistently demonstrated its immunity to persuasion and peaceful protest. Greenpeace is perfectly aware of China's track record for pollution and the impact it has on other countries. The same arguments can be applied to other countries including the US. Greenpeace wouldn't be permitted to enter China.

India is a democracy and peaceful protests (which has been happening in India long before Greenpeace took up issues) are not only permissible but also desirable. How else can the public make its government accountable or take it to task? IMO any (democraticall elected) government must be kept accountable and on track even if it is comprised of the party that one favours.

The attitude of right wing government who wish unfettered explotation of natural resources (often at the expense of environmental degradation) has been noted in the US too! There is therefore no particular surprise that the BJP has taken an even harsher attitude towards Greenpeace than Congress did. The previous government(s) have also had their agendas in promoting 'development' while giving insufficient attention to the environmental impact. Greenpeace was an irritant to those past governments.

In the US, President G.W. Bush railed against environmental protestors too! The attitude of Americans towards global warming is not only uncharacteristic of Europeans generally, but as a major player on the planet in terms of resource usage and production of pollution, its refusal to sign up to targets for reducing greenhouse gases, joepardises the whole planet.

Perhaps it's time dispense with the chip on the shoulder about people in the west tragetting India specifically.

No, you're right Unhinged. But you also have to dispense with the thought that these NGOs are run by good samaritans who only want the best for poor brown Indians. You just need to look at how France is still looting Africa without so much as a whimper from the rest of their NATO allies.

I am sure you're aware how many of them are foreign funded. Here's some food for thought. When ex Egypt PM Morsi, who is on death row now, asked for 14, just 14 of some 10,000 NGOs operating in Egypt at the time, to register themselves and officially declare their purpose and source of funding, POTUS Obama himself spake up for those NGOs.

Today there is 1 NGO in India for every 390 Indians.

Firstly, 'unhinged' is not the term you were looking for. The term was 'you have a different argument/perspective'. 😊

I believe the discussion was about Greenpeace, not all NGOs.

Did I say or even imply all NGOs were 'innocent'?

The argument you use is imo faulty, even dangerous if you make out that because some, even many NGOs are tools of the west, (with the implication they are therefore bad) then all NGOs are bad. We know there are quite a few corrupt politicians in India, do we have a right, without proof to label all indian politicians as corrupt?

I'm sorry but I do not agree with the sweeping nature of your view.

Just have a look at Kavita Krishnan's bio, her tweets and then judge for yourself if she's sane. You yourself mentioned how the US ' doesn't follow its own dictat on carbon credits that it lays out for "Third World". Greenpeace is a tool of the US again to dictate terms to other countries. Is the evidence not striking enough for you?

Have a look at my other post on WMDs in Britain and how despite people's protests, US still fluoridates their water and adds all sorts of heavy metals like mercury to vaccines which have been made mandatory btw.

A country that doesn't even care about the health of its own citizens, would it care for the Third World? Even today, US and its allies Sauds are bombing Yemen and Syria. Does this country care for the Third World's environment?

Can you connect these two discrepancies? Does US record sound like that of a good samaritan?
