> By one count 48 million people in China lack sufficient drinking water. The number of people facing severe drinking water shortages doubled to 5.9 million in early 2008 because of a severe winter drought. China has more than a fifth of the world's population but only 7 percent of its fresh water.

Not from the article, but if there was a startup needed and one that could jump start their sector there, a significant problem to solve is clean water.
