10 Resource 9 for Question 3 Article on pollution by the chemical industry in China In China, there have been protests agains t chemical factories that are blamed for carcinogens that enter water supplies and the food chain. While the government insists it is cl eaning up pollution far faster than other nations at a similar dirt y stage of development, many toxic industries have simply been relocated to impoverished, poorly regulated rural areas. Chinese farmers are almost four times more likely to die of liver cancer and twice more likely to die of stomach cancer than the global average, according to study commissioned by the World Bank. The domestic media is increasingly filled with reports of "cancer villages" - clusters of the disease near dirty factories. The vast majority are on the wealthy eas tern coast, the first area in China to accept "outsourced" dirty industries fr om overseas. But as these regions have moved up the value chain and tightened re gulations, there are signs that the pollution and cancer belt may be moving inland to areas that are either less aware of the dangers or too poor to turn away business. Deep in the scorched dry countryside of northeast Yunnan, the residents of Xinglong fear they may soon join the list of sick villages. An acrid stench assails the senses near the Luliang City Industrial Park, the thicket of polluting factories that locals blame for an outbreak of deadly tumours. When locals tried to protest, they said they were blocked by the authorities because the chemical factories contribute to the local economy. Most locals blamed the toxins that flow ed from the chemical factories into the nearby Nanpan River and ground water supply.
