Jasper Becker environmental article
Asia Sentinel has reprinted (by arrangement with the National Geographic Society) a section from the book Dragon Rising: An Inside Look at China Today by Jasper Becker (Part 1 & Part 2). The article, The Rising Dragon’s Environmental Disaster, is a great overview of China’s environmental problems, including a (depressing) part devoted to Yunnan: Dianchi, the Tiger Leaping Gorge dam etc. Well worth reading.
