Don't let this distract you from the fact that they are running out of fresh water though. Pollution in China has reached apocalyptic levels, and as much as I like the news about BTC, I would appreciate it if they did something about the environment as well.
I know, prolly irellevant, but I had to say that. I know I'm a douchebag who doesn't deserve nice things.
Pollution is far better in some places as they crackdown on factories and such. There was one point in Shanghai where pollution just kinda... became way less overnight. Right now it's 57 which is England levels, It might go up to 150 odd sometimes but the overall average is like half or less of what it was 2 years ago.
If there's one thing China is actually doing right... and I can maybe count two things total... it's fighting pollution
