China Monthly Statistics (CMS) is a monthly summary of China's market and industry statistics. It features a collection of key economic indicators and industry data falling in a dozen of categories:

Cities account for 18% of the country's total land area, as against 7.6% in 1984. Uneven economic development has resulted in an uneven distribution of cities between eastern and western China. China has 9 out of 10 of the world's most polluted cities, is the 2nd largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, and respiratory diseases are the leading cause of death. Acid rain falls on nearly one-third of the country. Dust from coal-burning stoves cakes cars and clothing. 70 % of the rivers are drying up because of industrial or agricultural diversions while many contain no fish due to pollution and others that used to freeze in winter now run free, because of warm industrial discharge. Excessive logging has caused soil erosion and increased flooding. The China government seems to recognize the damage to the environment and is endeavoring to do something about it. ... This loss of fundamental civil liberties, though seemingly harsh to those of us who treasure our civil liberties, can also be viewed as but a natural consequence of overpopulation.

The combined effects of China's environment degradation, deforestation and water logging in its upper north-eastern regions and the ongoing changes in global weather conditions like the El Nino weather phenomenon—leading to widespread floods in much of the Asian continent, including Russia, the Koreas, Bangladesh and India—resulted in unprecedented torrential rains and storms flooding the Yangtze river and its main tributaries during this summer.
