This is about international greed. The greed permeates from the corporations who crave fatter wallets, to the consumer who wants cheaper products, to the government and bankers for messing the world up so much that the bottom dollar is all we look for. Then we have the Chinese, oh those lovely people who sacrifice and compromise their health, families, and environment so that they can provide cheap goods and live at a below minimum standard of living.  but lets not forget that the chinese manufacturers are ripping off virtually everyone who does business with them by producing cheap fakes of real products. These cheap fakes lead to their workforce being completely ripped off, their environment being ripped off, the international companies being ripped off, the crap quality of product being paid for so when it breaks the customer is being ripped off. The problem here is that greed is the driving force for virtually EVERYONE.  but it's kind of like making a deal with the devil. No one wins in the long run... But where to from here?

If so, I saw them in 2002 when I spent some time living and working on a cruise ship on the Yangtze. It was amazing to see them gliding through the water in their natural habitat and I felt really lucky since they are rarely sighted. I am very sad to hear that they are now extinct.
