Environmental Activism Takes Hold in China Dec 21st 2012, 00:58 China's authoritarian leaders show few signs this year that they are ready for political activism.  But there are indications they are increasingly aware and willing to listen to public demands when it comes to the environment.

Sanctions imposed by the United States and European Union have hit the Iranian economy hard enough to possibly push Iran toward a diplomatic solution.
