Yangtze River waterfront. You don't want to swim here. Or downstream.
By extension, you may want to avoid food grown or produced in China. No protection of the environment and no regulations of what goes into the food products. I noticed that in addition to garlic imported from China, the local supermarkets in Canada are now carrying ginger from China, at a very low price in very large quantities. It is harder and harder to find locally grown when the market is flooded with the cheap product made in China.
I took this panorama shot during my trip last year near the city of Chongching, an old trading intersection between the routes from Europe to China. The boat was travelling for about an hour along a waterfront looking much like this, in some places one factory beside another.
