Samuel Bollendorff managed to defy the prohibitions to prove the incredible violence of a China that is advancing at a forced marched, mirror of a booming global economy… Forgotten of the growth, at the mercy of corrupt authorities, three quarters of the 500 million of Chinese peasants now live below the poverty line.
This book presents the social and ecological backdrop of the Chinese “economic miracle”: coal mines and their amount of daily death, cancers engendered by pollution, delirious cadence of toy’s factory, the land expropriations of the peasants of Hanyuan, razed towns.
