The article by Stern was interesting because it went over what an environmental lawsuit case looks like. An environmentalist lawyer stated that it is hard to win an environmental lawsuit in China. However, they are not lost causes and they sometime help litigations move forward. This article says that this shows how the courts are uneven, however, I think it more shows the point mentioned in the Pollution and Protest article in China and  one of the points made is that it could be a real health hazard and the Chinese might not protest the environmental issue. This  is a pretty crazy idea to me, most environmental issues that impacts humans and animals health wise are protested and heavily publicized at all costs if possible. This article also uses a word that I have found pretty much describes China and that is “complex”. For starters the political and social context under which the protest takes place is specific and then if only environmental damage is being done then there is not going to be  a  protest done about  it, there has to be a perceived very serious potential threat. The strategy best used for environmental protests  is to piggyback off protests  regarding more politcally favorable  issues. Although this  is an important issue I have to agree that this seems like a smart idea because even in the U.S. I think environmental protests only reaches a certain audience that pays attention. If you were to piggyback of something always in the  news it would spread a lot better guaranteed.
