A new Chinese family planning study has shown that birth defects have risen by 40 per cent in just six years.

The shocking rise has been blamed on pollution caused by the country's unrestrained industrial growth, say officials.

And a baby is being born with birth defects every 30 seconds because of pollution, says China's senior family planning official.

Jiang Fan - from the country's National Population and Family Planning Commission - says the heart of the problem is northern China's coal-mining region, Shanxi.

"The problem of birth defects is related to environmental pollution, especially in the eight main coal zones," confirmed local family planning official An Huanxiao.

But China's massive industrial expansion in chemical production, power plants, and manufacturing has spread defects through the whole country.

Now officials are to launch an intensive screening programme to help prevent the rise. "The number of newborns with birth defects is constantly increasing in both urban and rural areas," Jiang told China Daily newspaper.

"This rather alarming increase has forced us to kick off a high-level prevention plan," he added. Most recent figures from a 2007 commission reveal that the rate of birth defects had risen 40 per cent since 2001, from 104.9 per 10,000 births to 145.5 in 2006.

Holy Shit!

I bet those rancid Rothschilds would piss themselves laughing at that poor girl!:mad:

The Zionists are a total disaster and they intend to be!:mad:

This is why china will be the first to embrace cold fusion and drop oil and coal.

Holy Shit!

YEP, ......The horror just keeps coming does'nt it ?

Could be.......(Tesla had 'free energy' 100 yrs ago...now they use it to HAARP the Chinese).....

ya :(, I wonder has it anything to do with gm food

GM crops find friends in China

Alex Kirby
BBC News Online environment correspondent

Evidence is emerging that China is taking the potential of genetically modified (GM) crops seriously.

Researchers found that China accounts for more than half the developing world's expenditure on plant biotechnology.



It is working on more than 50 plant species, with a wide-ranging list of GM food plants. The researchers say China's experience proves that GM crops have a role to play in poorer countries.

What is happening in China appears to be at odds with the widespread rejection of GM technology in many other - particularly European - countries.

The researchers, from China and the US, report their findings in the journal Science.

They carried out a survey which they say covered approximately 80% of the nation's plant biotechnology research laboratories in nine provinces and two municipalities.

Keen to experiment

On the basis of the results, they say China "is developing the largest plant biotechnology capacity outside North America".

Farmers like GM cotton (Monsanto)
They write: "China is accelerating its investments in agricultural biotechnology research and is focussing on commodities that have been mostly ignored in the laboratories of industrialised countries.

"Small farmers in China have begun to aggressively adopt GM crops when permitted to do so."

The survey identified more than 50 plant species and more than 120 functional genes which scientists were using in plant genetic engineering.

From 353 applications between 1996 and 2000, the Chinese Office of Genetic Engineering Safety Administration approved 251 cases of GM plants, animals and recombined micro-organisms for field trials, environmental releases or commercialisation.

Promise against pests

Approval was given to 45 GM plant applications for field trials, 65 for environmental release, and 31 for commercialisation.

Transgenic rice resistant to three major pests - stem borer, planthopper and bacterial leaf blight - have passed at least two years of environmental release trials.

GM wheat resistant to barley yellow dwarf virus is undergoing field trials, and experiments are under way on GM potatoes and peanuts.

Unlike the rest of the world, the authors say, where most plant biotechnology research is financed privately, the Chinese Government is responsible for almost all funding.

It plans to increase research budgets by 400% before 2005.

The first large-scale commercial use of a GM crop involved cotton, incorporating a gene isolated from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis.

The authors say: "Response by China's poor farmers to the introduction of Bt cotton eliminates any doubt that GM crops can play a role in poor countries.

Safer farming

"From only 2,000 hectares (5,000 acres) in 1997, Bt cotton's sown area grew to around 700,000 ha (1,700,000 acres) in 2000.

"The average farm size of the typical cotton farmer in the survey sample was less than 1 ha (2.47 acres)."


GM petunias have had their colours changed
The farmers reduced pesticide use by an average of 13 sprayings per hectare per season, a reduction of 49.9 kilograms (110 pounds), and a saving of $762 (£536). Their production costs fell by 28%.

They also reduced their use of toxic pesticides, organophosphates and organochlorines, by more than 80%.

Only 4.7% of farmers planting Bt cotton complained of pesticide-linked health problems, compared with 11% of farmers using both Bt and unaltered varieties, and 22% of those using non-Bt cotton alone.

Wider use

Professor Julia Goodfellow is chief executive of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).

She told BBC News Online: "China has a unique problem in feeding over a fifth of the world's population using only 7% of the world's cultivable land.

"The report shows that where there are real, tangible benefits to be gained from advanced plant biotechnology, this science can be put to use effectively.

"It could prove a vital resource in other developing nations where there is an express need for the often unique benefits it can bring."

It reminds me of the victims of depleted uranium poisoning in Iraq and Afghanistan (and Kosovo, Serbia, Lebanon, etc...)

I always hesitated before posting any of the images of the babies and children, because they are so terrible, so heartbreaking. :(

Depleted Uranium from the US, UK and Israel has dispersed all round the globe.

It's one of the biggest crimes ever... :mad:

Here is a link. the pictures are very disturbing. If anyone wonders why I get passionate about stuff, this is one of the main reasons. When I saw this a couple of years ago I knew how evil our goverments are; and the shills who defend them share the responsibility... :mad: Sometimes I get very fucking angry at these bastards! :mad:

Something just occurred to me...

Did anybody see the Band of Brothers episode where they forced the German civilians to walk through a concentration camp?

Well, this link should be obligatory viewing for every Briton, American, Israeli, etc. whose nation has been firing off DU shells.

Look at those photos and I defy anyone to tell me that the elite are not the ruthless, murderous scum that we describe them as...

Tony Blair lied to strat the Iraq War. These children are on his conscience (if he had one... :()

well.....that was horrific!!!

just so tragic, this is supposed to be their liberation.....:mad::mad::mad:

Oh,Mother of God...It could well be the result of the fact we've been shipping our toxic waste to China for years,too.
