Something I don't understand, when people start dying because of the pollution, or rain storms decimate plants down wind with acid rain, what happens then? One of the tremendous challenges of China's rapid growth is that the problems scale up way faster than the will to solve them does, and when other countries had multiple decades to get their head around pollution vs production it is happening so quickly will it surpass the ability of the government to react? I also don't know why people insist on re-experiencing the crises of the western worlds 60's (phospates, smog, Etc) for themselves, why not just skip the pain by regulating early and often?
