    If it moves, buy it,
    If it doesn’t move, buy it anyway,

    China is buying everything she can from south America,

    Or are we just being paranoid..lol

    #1 I wonder how long before the Amazon trees will be in museums and only pictures will exist of it's former image? China has such a wonderful environmental track record. One can be jailed when talking about air quality in China.

    I agree
    China is a big growing economy,
    As for the trees in the Amazon,
    And everything else, it all seems to be shrinking,
    it’s sad really..
