E-waste from America, Japan and European Unions is pouring into China through underground channels.
In south China's Guiyu, workers are poisoned by toxic fume chemicals when they melt e-waste and environment is severely damaged. Underground channel of smuggling e-waste into the country is making it impossible for the government to fight back.
