Look like china has huge problem to solve. That is Water Shortage.

It's been going on for sometime. IIRC, their Yellow River is in deep trouble too, and that spells massive trouble for China's agriculture industry, which in turn, could lead to food issues.

What is IIRC??
Food shortage is not that big of a deal as china can always import them from other countries. Money is no longer a problem for china these days. However, I can see the price of basic food will be much more expensive in the future.

As for water pollution and water shortage, China herself is to be blame by not enforcing the law in the past when corporations dumped industrial wastes into rivers and lakes which cause massive water pollution.
