Imagina vivir en el peor lugar del mundo para la vida... e imagina que ese lugar está así a causa de la tecnología. Eso es la distopía que viven los habitantes de Baotou, una ciudad arrasada por la contaminación en Mongolia.

Steam 2-8-2 SY #1676 in Baotou, China, 2008 by Ben Kletzer

The spectacular slag dump at Baotou steelworks as seen with SY #1676. At one time, Baotou had dozens of steam locomotives in daily service, but by this point in 2008 only seven SY 2-8-2's remained. Already most of these steam locomotives were idle every day, while a massive fleet of new diesels served the steelworks. The once bustling steam shop was already barren of equipment and awaiting demolition. But all of this could be forgotten while watching a SY struggle with 1200 tons of molten steel on the slag tip. Within a six months, the steel mill would be fully dieselized and SY 1676 would be nothing more than razor blades.

Scientists in China have unearthed a never-before-seen type of ore that contains a rare earth element sought after for its superconductive properties.  The ore, dubbed niobobaotite, is made of niobium, barium, titanium, iron and chloride, the South China Morning Post reported.  It's the niobium that is causing excitement: This light-gray metal is currently used mostly in the production of steel, which it strengthens without adding significant weight. Niobium is also used in making other alloys (materials made of mixes of metals) and can be found in particle accelerators and other advanced scientific equipment because it is a superconductor at low temperatures, according to the Royal Society of Chemistry. The deposit was found in the Bayan Obo ore deposit in the city of Baotou in Inner Mongolia on Oct. 3. The brownish-black ore is the 17th new type found in the deposit and one of 150 new minerals found in the region, according to the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC).

Here Everything is Poison

By J. Malcolm Garcia, Photography by Darren McCollester

Fall 2010

Cold winds carry lead-filled dust from a nearby slagheap, a hundred million tonnes of toxic tailings, and scatter it on clothes hanging from laundry lines, on open buckets of drinking water, on the dirt children play in, and on the feral dogs running down alleys in this former French army barracks housing about 250 displaced Roma men, women, and children.

A la fin de la Révolution culturelle à Baotou (Mongolie intérieure), vers 1973 : campagne contre l’enseignement de Confucius, considéré comme partie prenante des " Quatre Vieilleries " à bannir.

Mao contre Confucius

« Le matin de bonne heure et le soir, je travaillais à la ferme. Dans la journée, je lisais les Entretiens de Confucius et les Quatre Classiques. Mon maître de chinois appartenait à l’école du traitement rigide. Il était dur et sévère, et battait souvent ses élèves. A cause de cela, je m’enfuis de l’école quand j’avais dix ans. » Voilà ce que racontait Mao Tsé-toung à Edgar Snow
