China's dilemma (Ji-Xuan)

China has industrialiazed in the past decades .Since then, they have been expanding their industries by building more factories to manufacture products which causes alot of air waste and discharging of harmful chemicals into the atmosphere. This has caused them to be faced with a problem we all know as pollution and global warming

With more factories and office buildings emit lots of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. this has led to many problems in the environment, for example, the major pollution in air in china recently with very high psi index. With  advancing technology, comes higher consumption of energy. This causes china  to be forced to find  cheaper sources of energy and in this case burning of fossil fuels are the cheapest and most accesible source of energy. This is very bad as burning fossil fuels lead to high emission of greenhouse gases which leads to global warming and pollution .China is  faced with the problem to choose economic growth or the environment . finding alternative sources of energy or ways to reduce greenhouse gases emission requires alot of research . This is the dilemma which china is facing
