"The next financial center might be in Asia, likely in China. China is becoming more important. In the past, Chinese students went overseas to pursue studies; now some international students choose to come to China to get in touch with the possible next center."

Putting a Stop to Land Pollution
Caixin Century Weekly
July 14
According to China's Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP), of all the soil samples obtained at testing sites, 19.4 percent are polluted, a sharp rise from the 10-percent pollution rate of the 1990s. This is undoubtedly bad news for China, whose per-capita arable land is only 40 percent of the world's average.
In April, the Ministry of Land and Resources in cooperation with the MEP enumerated three major ways polluted soil harms the country. First, it leads to the decline of grain output and quality, and most importantly, for those ingesting this produce over an extended period of time, long-term health concerns. Second, polluted soil in turn contaminates the surrounding environment and further affects human respiratory and physical health. Finally, polluted soil jeopardizes China's ecological environment.
