China is currently a developing country due to its conservative nature in the past, not wanting to learn from the westerners. As china has lost a lot of time while using its old Confucius methods, it is trying to pursue higher economic growth and modernise itself to open itself into the world. This comes at a cost. As china is industrializing itself, it builds many factories and starts building many buildings to reach a higher standard of life. All these releases carbon dioxide and chemicals into the air. Some factories also dump their chemicals into land fills or into the sea. This causes the seas to be polluted, affecting the marine life that other countries might use as food. The marine life in the polluted waters will be polluted and might be contaminated, rendering the person who consumes it contaminated, too. This results in consequences such as mutation of both animals and humans alike. When china releases chemicals into the air, the air gets polluted and forms acid rain. This rain will cause forests to die out, animals to be contaminated and eventually die, and also corrode most buildings. However, without industrialization, china will be lagging behind and will not remain as a worldwide superpower. Furthermore, due to overpopulation, china has to cut down forests to make space for new houses and developments, having lesser trees to absorb the pollutants from the air. To continue industrializing or not, the people's lives always come first. The china government should ask themselves whether their title as a superpower matters more, or their health.
