Chapter 42 The Bhopal Gas Leak Case

Seeing the Associated Press reporter standing up again, Fu Xin's face was obviously displeased, but the Associated Press reporter didn't seem to have this awareness, and still went his own way, catching Fu Xin Asked: "Mr. Fu, what do you think of Chinese foreign capital entering the Chinese market?"

"Sorry, this beautiful lady. If I remember correctly, this is the press conference for my award acceptance speech with Professor Zhao, not the regular press conference of our country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I think these questions of yours should be taken Go to the regular press conference of our country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask, not me. Thank you."

What Fu Xin said was not "blunt" at all, he just kicked the ball back.

If it was an ordinary person, Fu Xin might forget about it if he answered this way, but Fu Xin underestimated the ability of these reporters to cheat, and saw that the reporter was still relentless, and he grabbed Fu Xin and asked: "Mr. Answer my question. My question is, what do you think about Chinese foreign capital entering the Chinese market?"

The reporter's reluctance delayed the time for a long time, but the reporters present, except for the reporter from Xinhua News Agency, all held the attitude of watching the show, expecting Fu Xin to make a fool of himself, so no one raised any objections.

Fu Xin pursed his lips, shook his head, sighed, stretched his neck, and said, "Well, since you want to break the casserole and ask the end, then I will accompany you. I didn't want to say..."

If someone Fu Xin was familiar with, such as Zhong Ying, or Lu Xuan saw this scene, he must know that Fu Xin's action showed that he was going to cheat someone!

Although he is not familiar with Fu Xin, which of these reporters is not a ghost? Fu Xin's performance must be a big hit!So at this time, everyone sat up straight, waiting for Fu Xin's answer.

But Xu Guangyu, who was standing aside and listening, was extremely nervous at this moment, for fear that Fu Xin might say something wrong.Zhao Yiming, who was sitting next to Fu Xin, was also worried that Fu Xin said something he shouldn't have said. He kicked Fu Xin with his foot under the table, reminding Fu Xin to pay attention to the impact.But Fu Xin didn't seem to feel the result he got, because Fu Xin had already spoken at this time. [

"I don't know if everyone knows what happened seven days ago, and I won't show off my skills to ask you any questions. You got the news much faster than me. After all, you are professionals."

Speaking of this, Fu Xin showed a sad look on his face, "Seven days ago, that is, in the early morning of December 1984, 12, Union Carbide, a subsidiary of Union Carbide in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, (India) Co., Ltd. had a cyanide leak at a pesticide factory near a slum. Oh, to be precise, this was not a leak, it should be said to be an explosion. A huge column of air rushed into the sky, forming a mushroom-shaped air mass, which quickly spread."

"Mushroom-shaped air mass, as far as I know, this is the power that a nuclear weapon explosion can produce. Speaking of this, some people may wonder why I said nuclear weapons? Yes, why did I say nuclear weapons?"

"India's official statistics have not yet come out. Cyanide is highly toxic. Let me explain. As far as I know, this cyanide is a highly toxic gas called methyl isocyanate.

As long as a very small amount of this gas stays in the air for a short time, it will cause eye pain, and if the concentration is slightly higher, it will cause suffocation.During World War II, German fascists used this poisonous gas to kill a large number of Jews in concentration camps. "

"I think this kind of poisonousness should be very clear to the Israeli journalist friends who are Jewish and the German journalist friends who are very responsible Germans."

After finishing speaking, Fu Xin looked down, and from the corner of his eye, he deliberately aimed at the reporter of Kyodo News Agency, and reporters from the Israel United News Agency and the Deutsche Presse Agency nodded immediately below.

"This kind of poison has turned Bhopal into a place of death. No one dares to go to the rescue. Why do I say nuclear weapons? Because according to my calculations, at least 25 people were directly affected by this catastrophe. death, 55 people were indirectly killed, and more than 20 people were permanently disabled.”

"Let's compare a statistic. The only two nuclear weapons in the world that were used in wars were the atoms you Americans dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Victory in the Fascist War."

At this time, Fu Xin saw that the faces of the reporters from the Kyodo News had turned ugly, so he taunted: "The reporters from the Kyodo News, don't blush, and don't deny it, the Americans left it behind." Two atoms, an act of justice, because it hastened the end of the war.

If the war does not end soon, how many people will die?Your Japanese fascists have caused the death of more than 3000 million people in our Chinese territory. You killed more than 30 people in the Nanjing Massacre alone. "

Seeing those Japanese reporters bow their heads, Fu Xin stopped chasing and killing them, "It's far away." Let's talk about how many people died from these two atoms. When the "Little Boy" was used to bomb Hiroshima, 24 people died , bombed Nagasaki with 'Fat Man', 135 million people died.Add up to 375 million people died.Remember, 375 million people. "

"I calculated how many people died in the Bhopal gas leak in India? 25 people died directly, 55 people died indirectly, and more than 20 people were permanently disabled. The dead alone killed 575 million people, which is more than two There were 20 more people killed by the atom, which is 20, and only 135 million people died when a "fat man" bombed Nagasaki, what kind of difference should this be?"

"Ahem, these journalist friends below, don't believe it. When the official Indian statistics come out, you will know whether I am correct. As for why I can count, it is very simple. I can stand on this Nobel Prize in Physics. On the podium of academic awards, and you can't, this is the gap between people."

"Why do I say this, because we have an idiom in China called 'the lips are dead and the teeth are cold', I am afraid! The Bhopal incident in India is a typical result of the transfer of high-polluting and high-hazard enterprises from developed countries to developing countries.[

As far as I know, factories like the Bhopal Pesticide Factory in the United States are equipped with advanced computer alarm devices, and most of them are far away from densely populated areas, while the Bhopal Pesticide Factory only has general Security measures, there are thousands of residents around.So I would like to ask this reporter from the Associated Press, why did Bhopal not do this? "

The reporter from the Associated Press below was dumbfounded by Fu Xin's question, and his face turned red.

"I have analyzed the Bhopal gas leak case in India this time. In today's world, public nuisance issues have received widespread attention in developed countries, and people are very sensitive to it.

Due to the higher and higher environmental standards set for this, many companies have turned their targets to developing countries with relatively low environmental standards.

These enterprises take advantage of the fact that some developing countries are eager to attract foreign capital in order to obtain greater economic benefits, attach importance to technology and equipment, ignore safety and environmental protection, and transfer industries that are almost not allowed to be established in some developed countries to developing countries.

This is the so-called 'redistribution of industry', that is, the transfer of polluting enterprises from controlled areas to uncontrolled areas, known as the 'pollution paradise' theory.

According to this theory, poverty, lack of industry and low demand for environmental services are manifested in the low economic price of dumping facilities.If a country has abundant resources of "self-purification" ability and sufficient "self-purification" potential, the "clean" industry will be relatively underdeveloped; if the "self-purification" ability is exhausted, the "dirty" industry will be exhausted, and the "clean" Industry developed. "

"This reporter from the Associated Press, you asked me what do I think about the entry of Chinese foreign capital into the Chinese market? What do I think? My opinion is that if you are doing business legitimately, come and contribute to our country's reform and opening up. Yes, entering our market and earning our money, my attitude is still welcome, after all, you have promoted the prosperity of our Chinese market.

But if you, like Union Carbide, came to divert the disaster and came here with the theory of 'pollution paradise', I don't welcome it.Please give us a clean and fresh living environment, this is my answer, thank you! "

As soon as Fu Xin finished speaking, the reporters from Xinhua News Agency stood up first and clapped their hands fiercely. When they saw the reporters from Xinhua News Agency applauding fiercely, reporters from other countries, whether they agreed with it or not, also stood up and applauded.

Some of these people agree, such as the journalists from the Press Trust of India who have just tasted the bitter fruit, as well as journalists from other developing countries; It is the United States; there is no one who is reluctant. These people still believe in their own "pollution paradise" theory. Needless to say, these reporters are from developing countries. in.

There are all kinds of things in the world. Fu Xin didn't care about the performance of these people. People's thoughts are the most difficult to change. If you want to change others, you should change yourself first and do it yourself. For example, revive the national industry. The industry has been revived, so there is no need to be keen on attracting foreign investment, pay attention to technology and equipment, and ignore safety and environmental protection.

When the country has money and the national industry is revived, it is completely possible to shut out those industries that are almost not allowed to be established in developed countries.

Thinking of this, Fu Xin thought of the smoggy weather he experienced in his previous life, and for a while, his confidence in revitalizing the national industry was strengthened.

Fu Xin raised his head, looked at the Associated Press reporter, and said, "This Associated Press reporter friend, I hope you can forward my answer to your country, and I hope you can take responsibility for this time. Compensation for the Bhopal gas leak tragedy in India, and justice for the victims, set an example for the people of the world."

It is not unreasonable for Fu Xin to say this, because it took 25 years for the Bhopal gas leak case in India to be judged, which is very chilling.The result of the trial is also chilling, because some of those guys have died of old age, and some of them are over 70 years old, and the charge is a simple "negligence of duty", so the sentencing of those guys who are alive is also a maximum of 2 years!

What is even more infuriating is that, as the main person in charge of the case, Anderson, the company's American boss, has not appeared in court for trial.

After the disaster, Anderson was arrested by the police in India, but soon left India and returned home. After that, Anderson never appeared in the Indian court proceedings. During the trial, the court issued an arrest order for Anderson Order, and asked the Indian central "government" to put pressure on Washington for extradition, but there has been no follow-up.

The reasons are not known to outsiders, but India, as the younger brother of the Americans, does not need to delve into the reasons.

Regarding these situations, Fu Xin could only sigh coldly in his heart, "This did not happen in China, but in India, which has a bad relationship with us.

I stand up to speak for you because we are all developing countries, and I understand the truth of how to speak for you. I also want to remind the leaders of our country not to blindly pursue the speed of economic development while ignoring the importance of the environment. governance.

Otherwise, I don't have this leisurely mind. I have tried my best, and I hope there will be a change! "
