Quotes

"The deaths in Chinese coal mines are also unavoidable! Because the people of China are too poor... He Zuoxiu does not want people to die. But certain sacrifices are sometimes unavoidable during the process of development. You hope to have no sacrifices, but that is very unpractical." [ [http://zonaeuropa.com/20051216_1.htm Coal Mine Deaths and The Price of Development] , Southern People's Weekly, December 15, 2005] (Note, the validity of this quote is questioned. [ [http://www8.tianya.cn/publicforum/Content/no01/1/207257.shtml 《南方人物周刊》又一次作了背离诚信原则的报导] ] )

On alternative energy in China:"Greatest potential, however, lies in China’s vast endowment of deserts and plentiful sunshine in its northern regions, which could (based on the capabilities of today’s technology), produce 16700 gigawatts (GW) of solar power. That’s enough to meet any future energy demand."cite web
