How do you say Cuyahoga in Chinese?


Many historians mark the 1969 Cuyahoga River fire in Cleveland as the single event that raised the general American environmental consciousness and enabled passage of the Clean Water Act. 

Could the same thing happen in China?  Well, a river/waterway caught on fire.

We'll see if it has any impact.  In a very populous nation, it may be mostly ignored.  But given the heated discussions going on in China about their environmental crisis, it might influence some opinions.
