Air and Water in Leading Chinese Cities Rank as Dirtiest in World

NYT:
... The country's economy is growing faster than any other. But the air and water in many of its leading cities rank as the dirtiest in the world, and the number of people who die at work, 11,500 through the first nine months of this year, is far disproportionate to workplace fatalities in other countries.

Much of China's economic boom has stemmed from foreign investment and international partnership. Hisun itself has become partners with the Drug Source Company, a distributor of generic drugs based in Westchester, Ill.

The American company helped Hisun gain regulatory approval to make ingredients for a range of drugs, including the top-selling antitumor medication doxorubicin, used to treat cancer patients. The drugs sold in the United States are Hisun's most profitable product lines and are its fastest growing source of revenue, according to reports it has filed as a publicly listed company.
