What Is Made in China?
More than 10 years have passed, more and more Chinese companies, Sino-foreign joint ventures (JV) and wholly foreign-owned enterprises (WFOE) are adopting such an approach: raw materials from abroad, the products sold abroad.
This time, we gradually found that in an industry value chain, foreign companies took away majority of the profits, while Chinese companies only get a minimum, i.e. the meagre processing fees. More seriously, we are starting to taste the bitter fruit of environmental pollution. Chinese companies are getting into a double whammy situation: earning the least, and polluting the most.

Multinationals’ impact on Nigerian environment cannot be overemphasized. Their roles on the environment are significant and have continued to be a topical issue in Nigerian Newspapers, magazine and even in other media. The region where oil is being explored in Nigeria especially
places like Ogoni, Niger Delta, Ijaw, etc have been completely devastated by decades of reckless oil exploration or ecological warfare by these oil-producing companies and other multinationals. An ecological war is highly lethal, the moves so as it is unconventional. It is homicidal in effect. Human life, flora, fauna, the air, fall at its fact, and finally, the land itself dies.
