Chen Guangbiao, you should really learn more about lead-acid batteries before coming out to put on this kind of show! Lead-acid batteries doesn’t affect the environment, what affects the environment is because we don’t have a robust manufacturing and recycling system! You’re too lacking in technical knowledge!

Electric scooters, the most practical form of transportation for the ordinary common people, why did you smash them?

新浪广东深圳 wellmaker:

Well done!! Let those stupid high officials see how terribly they have ruined China’s environment!

新浪广东江门SINGLE3100: (responding to above)

It shows that China’s environment has been so terribly polluted that has reached the point where it jeopardizes human survival!
It [this publicity stunt] is a warning, a mockery/satire!!!

Purely a publicity stunt, can fresh air still be fresh once be contained in a can? What can you accomplish waving a hammer in photos like this? Causing pollution!! One doesn’t need to create a stir to do good things, you’ve ruined your good image by overdoing it!!
