Sample Interview with Al Jazeera English (December 24, 2015)

Interpretation: (source: IELL newsfeed)

Tamara Savelyeva, HKG, Einer Tangen, Beijing, and Steve Tsang, Nottingham are discussing China's pollution dilemma in an Al Jazeera show. Would China's political situation allow to “put a horse (people of China) ahead of a carriage (Chinese economy),” and solve its pollution problem with a long-term approach focused on education? Changing people's minds with solid environmental and liberal education rather than hi-tech technological advances and efficiency-based policies is a key to this process.
