Our top 10 list includes articles on air pollution, animal welfare and the heavily polluted denim capital of the world. As well as our rundown on the most popular and important stories on chinadialogue <\/em>in 2013, we’ve also produced a review of the past year’s environmental news in China<\/a>.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
1. US cities suffer impact of downwind Chinese air pollution <\/a><\/div>\n
Ozone and mercury pollution from Chinese industry is contributing to worsening air quality in west coast states like California.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
2. What the world is getting wrong about China and climate change <\/a> <\/div>\n
Pressing ahead too fast with emissions cuts will cause pain down the line for China, says senior climate strategist Zou Ji.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
3. Chinese nuclear disaster “highly probable” by 2030   <\/a><\/div>\n
China is heading for a nuclear accident if it continues with current construction plans, says former state nuclear physicist and prominent critic He Zuoxiu.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
4. The denim capital of the world: so polluted you can’t give the houses away<\/a><\/div>\n
It makes a third of all jeans sold in the world, but the pollution is so bad in Xintang, south-west China, that local people refuse to work in its textile industries.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
5. China’s environment ministry an "utter disappointment" <\/a> <\/div>\n
The outgoing administration’s environmental record can be split in two stages: five years of storming forward, then five years of nothing.   <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
6. China faces long wait for law-change on animal cruelty <\/a><\/div>\n
Compassion for animals was considered counter-revolutionary but now the younger generation increasingly find cruelty unacceptable. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
7. The world’s longest burning fires: China’s unseen story  <\/a>  <\/div>\n
Coal extraction remains a higher priority than putting out China’s huge underground coal fires.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
8. Special report: China’s image crisis in Ghana <\/a><\/div>\n
As Chinese investment in mineral-rich Ghana soars, negative attitudes towards Chinese workers are also common. Cui Shoujun spent three months in the African state investigating.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
9. A personal account of life inside a Chinese mining company<\/a><\/div>\n
Hua Ming spent three years working as an environmental manager for a major mining company in south-west China. His experience was a mixture of achievement and a sense of powerlessness.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
10. The fate of people displaced by the Mekong dams<\/a><\/div>\n
Farmers resettled to make way for dams along the upper Mekong, in Yunnan province, are demanding higher compensation and protection of their rights.<\/div>\n
