When I visited Beijing, I was surprised to see a bus numbered ＂666＂ driving throughout the city. I found it very unnerving; ＂666＂ is usually the sign for the devil. I never thought I＇d see it out in broad daylight, much less on a bus! I＇m sure that the Chinese don＇t see it that way; otherwise, they would have never let that number show up anywhere.

《当十亿中国人跳起来》

＂Please God, make sure everyone in China doesn＇t jump at the same time.＂ As a child, Jonathan Watts, author of When a Billion Chinese Jump, used to fear that China would jump, push the earth off its axis and kill everyone on the planet. Over time, he realized people only jumped individually or in small groups, and he was able to grow up without worrying about the cataclysmic event ever happening. Until one day, China did jump. In the greatest event of combined human effort, China is developing at a record- breaking rate, increasing its coal and energy consumption by 50 percent, its population by seven million a year, and its water usage by 500 billion tons. China＇s development is pushing the limits of its environment, and it is showing no signs of stopping. Watts realized his fears had been very real, and that one day China could indeed destroy mankind. Many other nations, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, have already exploited -- and substantially damaged -- the environment. While the West created unsustainable development, it is China that may finish off the world. Back when Western countries began developing, the environment was healthier and resources seemed abundant.
