I have posted on this at "Globalisation and the environment". It is interesting to read a different perspective. Your points are valid but also make it clear that the Chinese propaganda machine is every bit as powerful as the US and Western media in getting across "their side of the story". Nick Stern wrote an interesting Guardian article on this topic a couple of days ago that we also blog on. Very interesting article. I have posted on this at “Globalisation and the environment”.

Sometimes, yes. By Graham Webster Transpacifica November 17, 2007 Let me start by pointing out what Fallows didn’t bring up: It’s simply not an accurate representation of “Western” news coverage to say they only focus on the environment. Thousands of stories come up in Google News searches on China and human rights, or China and Darfur. The U.S. press is preoccupied much of the time with a possible economic and military threat from China. The way I see it, at least the English-language news world focuses on several major story-lines with China, and the environment is one. It may be more prominent because the environment (thankfully) is a major story overall, and China plays an important role in the global environment. [...] [...] Are Pollution Stories Anti-Chinese?
