Yong Xuan's reflections

Reflect on china's dilemma between pursuing higher economic growth and escalating pollution due to the industrialization.

In order to meet the dream of having higher economic growth, China has an increase in the number of factories and industries that invent products to be sold.  However, they did not realise that factories and industries emit high level of greenhouse gases and air pollutants, which can lead to global warming as well as air pollution, that in turn can lead to health problems to their citizens.  But if they were to stop all the factory work, they would have a drop in the number of products made to be sold to the rest of the world.  Hence they would also have lesser incoming and outgoing stock and their economic rate will not improve.  Hence it is really a dilemma between pursuing higher economic growht and escalating pollution due to the industrialization.
