IN SEARCH OF GREEN CHINA
Home
On this page I will include other resources that might be of use to those interested in Chinese environmental affairs. I will try to keep it as updated as possible. Since the printed book does not allow hyperlinks, this is also the place where you can find some of the important online sources that I leaned upon while writing my book.
