To be 100 percent fair, tap water in China has shown a concerning level of trace amounts of heavy metals (Not the Led Zeppelin kind, unfortunately) and is often slightly worse than in the U.S., in China its more understandable given that the nation is still a developing country containing over 16 percent of humanity and installing and cleaning new state of the art pipes and irrigating water and purifying minerals from water is extremely complex and tedious work, the Chinese government at least has greatly improved water treatment over the past few decades, continues to do so, has a very strong drive to provide for its people, and has spent billions of dollars introducing tap water to Tibet, which previously didn't have running water until recently.
Where as the U.S. if anything probably wants to get rid of tap water because "its communist!"
Maybe you would have save drinking water in China, but at what cost?!
the head of the relevant official, obviously
This goes through my mind every time I read, hear or think the words "but at what cost?"
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
MICHIGAN PROVIDES YUMMY PISS AT THE SINK WATER
michigan definitely doesn't kink shame

Look at that trickle down.
If a bourgeoise pisses in the mouth of a petit bourgeois the proles may catch a few drops.
Professor Wei? More like Professor Bae 🥰😘
What's in that water?
Lead
That's in there too, but probably not giving it the colour. Probably just general dirt and sediment doing that.
No, you can simply look it up.
Lead poisoned water is orange-brown or "rusty". Lead colours water easily.
You can indeed look it up.
https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/lead/prevention/sources/water.htm
You cannot see, taste, or smell lead in drinking water.
That is pure lead, something that rarely happens, lead will bind to other elements and metals it comes in contact with.
Also from the CDC, they list how the amount of lead, and the subsequent colour change, is affected by other variables.
TIL what lead poisoned water looks like
This isn't bad, the water in the worst places in the US is almost completely brown or black. That's how saturated with heavy metals it is.
Guess what areas that happens to.
I'm going to guess on Reservations. I will be very happy if i guessed wrong
Correct!
But it’s more common in low income areas that are predominantly minority and black!
also, please, this picture is disgusting, can you spoiler this thing?
sure marked it as nsfw
thank you, comrade!
They would have been executed within days of the issue being discovered probably. This would've been resolved within weeks.
Um..... As a person that had a business in China and have family who still live in China, they would be executing people daily. You literally can't drink the water out of the tap without first using reverse osmosis and then boiling it for good measure. So, get off your high horse and eat a dick Xi.
