Not the picture of China, It is the real glimses of present world.

I am not sure which images you are looking at. China, like a number of countries, including the US, is not doing a very good job with the environment. I saw tires being burned for fuel and people threw their garbage everywhere. I too pray that we will all become more responsible.

This is a tremendous effort, I visited china 6 times being very high population china is very much clean country of the world because Chinese people having much ownership with their territory. I like that every Chinese has perfect responsibility and they do their jobs with commitment and devotion, this is why china is progressing in the world.

I hope so for rest of the world especially for our county Pakistan, friendship between china and Pakistan is and example for the world, and I am praying for the best environmental conditions in our country also.
