This is quite sad. The real numbers must be much higher and the poor Chinese people at the bottom of this social order who pay with their lives have no means of readdress. Once in a while, the fascist Chinese regime kills 50 million together - else they try and kill a couple million each year through pollution
This also explains their high growth rate. "Let's develop our economy at the cost of a few million Chinese lives. They are poor anyways. This increases the PPP and fuels Mother China's growth." This attitude is medieval - this once again places the onus on us Indians as a more mature and humane society with an accountable regime to help China develop along the right lines - brown man's burden if you will. Why only India - the Chinese can learn about this from Bangladesh and Pakistan also.
Our government is not hiding any numbers. This shows that we are working towards tackling problems. On the other hand, China asks World Bank not to publish numbers. Considering it is an opaque society and social structure, the real number could easily be 10 million if not more. Perhaps one day you guys will learn that growth at the cost of human life is just not worth it.
