In a February 23rd post (The Huffington Post), China Admits Existence Of ‘Cancer Villages’ In Report, As Pollution Concerns Mount, Dominique Mosbergen reports on the environmental disaster that is China.

Apparently, Agence France-Presse recently reported that China’s environment ministry made the admission in a report about pollution, in which authorities acknowledged the dangers posed to human health by harmful chemicals – many of which are banned in developed nations – that are produced and consumed in large quantities in the country.

Over the past few years, the term “cancer village” has been increasingly used by the media, as environmentalists have called attention to China’s skyrocketing cancer rates and deteriorating human health in areas near polluted waterways and factories.

One can but imagine the growing reticence on the part of U.S.-based purchasing agents and manufacturing engineers toward travel to China. A predictable reduction in hands-on management must, then, suggest a deterioration in the stability of America’s “China factory,” calling into question the quality and consistency of their productive output.
