It's interesting to me that people in China tend to think longer term than those of us in the west. I wonder what accounts for that difference?

I would hazard a guess at the fact that they haven't been exposed to Western capitalism as long; they are where we were, philosophically speaking of course, in the 70s.

Do you think they planned to cover many of their major cities with nearly toxic smog?
That sort of result is the result of short-term thinking, as is everything related to pollution.
Very good point; though I think it's short-term thinking mixed with an absolute disregard for the environment and a good old fashioned dollop of ignorance.
