Notable China-related quotes from the last week:

"Something will happen in Urumqi."
Zhou Qinjiang, a worker from the Zhangjiajie tourism development company, on the plight of Kuzhu river which the local government officials don’t consider that dirty:
"Most of the trash in the river is packaging from household things like washing powder floating from upstream. Bad habits like dumping trash are killing the Kuzhu River."
Roger Agnelli, Vale’s chief executive, on the decision facing China in regards to the existing iron ore benchmark prices already agreed upon by other Asian steel mills:
"The benchmark is given. It is established. It is clear. The client chooses what he wants. The Chinese need to choose what they want."
