Is China on the cutting edge of environmental cleanliness or just on the cutting edge of environmental regulation? They aren't necessarily the same thing and currently 16 of the 20 most polluted cities in the world (by air quality) are in China.
I haven't seen the movie yet (though I will) so I am not trying to rebut any claim. But China is an incredibly dirty country (particularly on water quality) so I'm just wondering on what basis "cutting edge" is designed. They can have all the laws they want but they're meaninless if, like most signatories to Kyoto, they'll never be enforced or observed.
