Report finds dirty money, water in China

More than a half-billion dollars meant for tackling water pollution in Chinese rivers and lakes has been embezzled or misused, seriously undercutting pollution prevention efforts and raising questions about how pervasive corruption is in China's environmental programs, a new report shows.

The report, by China's National Auditing Office (NAO), revealed that from 2001 to 2007, about $59 million in funding for water pollution control and prevention efforts involving three major rivers and three major lake areas was embezzled by officials and departments in those regions. In addition, $661 million was stolen, misdirected or never used.



Ooops... Me thinks China has a bit of a corruption problem.

I wont even mention the authentic picture above.

I do find it interesting that the news comes from within the Chinese government. In fact, it makes me wonder whether it is a whole lot more or not true at all.

I could imagine motives behind either scenario.
