Original:

Recently, there was a news very hot in China. From one Korean news report, there is a garbage mountain in Korea and the garbage mountain was on fire from last December. The report said the fire would continue on later five years and the reason why the Koreans need to bear this bad environment is because the Chinese government banned to import the garbage from other country anymore from Jan 1st 2018.
This news caused a huge outcry on social media. A lot of Chinese felt angry firstly and then we start to think. Before the garbage import injunction, China imported 50% of the garbage in world every year. China became a plastic kingdom. At that time, who cared about Chinese people’s healthy and China environment and even the Chinese government they did’t care.
