Arable Land Polluted Heavily In China

As the second largest economic body， China is paying a high price for its fast economic growth. In the past 30 years， a revolution happened to China’s agriculture， with its food production amount doubled. China relies on high-yielding crops. For better harvest， excessive chemical fertilizer has been mixed into the soil， of which 65% were improperly used. Rivers and farmlands were therefore polluted， and the toxic substances stayed in the soil. Soil pollution is one of China’s major health problems.

中国耕地污染严重

世界第二大经济体正为其快速的经济增长付出高昂代价。过去30年来，中国农业掀起一场革命，粮食生产增加近一倍。中国依赖高产作物。为更多收获，农田使用过量化肥，且高达65%的化肥使用不当，河流和农田因此受污染，有毒物质留在土里。土壤污染已成为中国最大的健康隐患之一。

Chinese people are used to bringing toilet paper when they go to the toilet， which is true especially in some small cities. No toilet paper is a big problem for the buildings in China.

The commission should be internationalized first. No toilet paper in the toilet； No talking about internationalization.”

厕所没厕纸

中国人上厕所往往会自带厕纸，在较小的城市尤其如此。没有厕纸确实是中国各地大楼的一个问题，担心如果免费提供的话，会被偷走。2012年，时任中国证监会主席的郭树清在讨论中国证券国际化问题时出语惊人：“我们天天说国际化，首先证监会要国际化，厕所连手纸都没有，还谈什么国际化？”

No North Korea Collapse

China really doesn't want North Korea to collapse. For one thing， the trickle of North Koreans currently crossing the border would turn into a flood， leaving China with a messy humanitarian situation on its hands. Secondly， a North Korean coRIVHoRslb1JbYquOAZ0MKIIQTUG45Fn3IZMj4Dwu0PE=llapse would no doubt foster the creation of a unified， pro-U.S. Korea on China's northeastern flank， depriving Beijing of a buffer against American interest. For these reasons， China needs North Korea to stay alive ， and North Korea knows it.

中国不想朝鲜垮台

中国真不想让朝鲜垮台。否则，目前不断跨境进入中国的朝鲜人将变得像汹涌的洪水一般，这会让中国陷入棘手的人道主义困境。其次，朝鲜垮台无疑会推动在中国的东北翼建立一个统一的亲美国家，北京将因此失去一个抵制美国利益的缓冲器。出于这些理由，中国需要朝鲜活下去，而朝鲜也明白这一点。
