When a Billion Chinese Jump: How China Will Save Mankind - Or Destroy ItBy Jonathan Watts (Faber & Faber)
This is not happy reading. The review is enough to spoil your day so I can only assume that reading the whole book would change your world-view considerably.
"It is hard to single out the most repulsive examples of self-destruction. Millions of tons of sewage down the Yellow River; the North China water table now sucked so dry that it has become nearly impossible to plumb; the squillions of acres of denuded grasslands and felled forests. The mind denies and goes numb."
