"...a massive ecological disaster..."

Indeed, but it will take much more to change China's ways. Until pollution becomes a risk to human life that takes an obviously shocking immediate toll the Chinese will not do anything about their pollution. Even then, given their huge population, problems are more likely to be swept under the rug (employees sent home to die, etc.).

So change due to environmental concerns is a long way off.
