Thanks for linking to this. The images are deeply affecting and provocative. Doing a quick Google search for Zhejiang Titanium led to a large number of websites in English selling their products (and that's just one of the factories featured). I wouldn't be surprised if the United States was the largest importer. In order to clean up our environment we've largely off-shored our dirty industries to contaminate theirs.
Thanks for this posting, and the links. Amazing photographs, heart-wrenching images. The "economic miracle" is having very real human costs.
