Apparently China's space station is shortly to crash into the Earth's atmosphere scattering space debris & chemicals particularly over a large area
& personally speaking, what a generally pollutive country it is ... should clean up it's act pronto
Pesonally, yes, I know we should do a lot more to sort out our plastic waste ... I've heard recently that a 5p deposit is to be put on plastic bottles ... methinks something more techy should be done at the manufacturers end of the market ... *Rant over*

I’m really not sure we should be blanket stereotyping a country.
Yes they do pollute, some of their manufacturing and quality control standards are questionable, a territorial policy that is highly provocative but they are a stabilising power in the Far East.

Also let's face it, the US space programme have been dropping debris in the ocean and over the rest of the planet for years.
As well as running gas guzzling cars. They have been reluctant to commit to any Global Warming debates or programmes to help save our planet.
What we do in the UK is nothing compared to the US

@AnonymousI agree with what you say that China is a stabilising power in the Far east

Sorry of loosely connected but seeing as there has been mention of two of the three great powers in the world, things are going to get a whole lot worse with them going ******-for-tat in the import tax stakes.
