Burmese forests being destroyed by illegal logging

No surprise here. China is illegally importing thousands of tons (or tonnes, since it's a BBC story) of illegally felled Burmese timber.

The telling quote:

China signed a commitment to address concerns over illegal logging in 2001, but is has since more than doubled its consumption of illegal Burmese timber, Global Witness said.

Wait. You mean the Chinese said one thing and did the complete opposite? I'm stunned.
