China's govt policy on toxic spill:

cover it up and hope no one notices Chinese Officials Sought to Hide Toxic Spill in Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang province. Local water supply was contaminated on November 13 in an explosion at a petrochemical factory that killed 1 and inured 70 more, but the government didn't notify residents downstream for a week as they tried to hide the extent of the accident.

I'm glad to see that the CCP remains consistent in its policy of "saving face" and jury rigging a cleanup -(by releasing water from a nearby dam to "dilute" the chemical spill) at the cost of poisoning millions of Harbin residents with benzene and other toxic waste.

So the day after Thanksgiving, I guess I'm thankful I don't live in Harbin.
