Nobody would dispute with that fact. I am by no means saying China is perfect, far from it! But regarding this Olympic effort, I'd say the Chinese are doing a GREAT job, put out an effort more than they could afford normally.
Regarding the Three Gorge Dam project, things are not that easy. China need lots of energy quickly. If it were not the Dam, then it would have to be either burning coad or diesel, which are much worse to the env. Nuclear seems to be a slightly better solution, but it has it own problems. Nobody, including the Chinese, want to deliberately destroy the env. Sometimes growing pain is inevitable, as long as they do whatever they can to make things better, then it should be acceptable.
I just want to say we all have to keep an open mind, be a little more patient. China just got into the world stage of economics, so cut them some slacks. We can see clearly China is much much better in every aspects than, say 20 years ago already.
