China's dilemma (Shuning)

China has improved a lot in terms of industrialization and they have been expanding all these industries and exporting by building many new factories and burning more coal. They have a dilemma between pursuing high economic growth and escalating pollution due to the industrialisation because if they were to continue expanding their industries, they would have to burn lots of coals and fossil fuels which will emit a lot of carbon dioxide and many other greenhouse gases which contributes to air pollution and global warming.

Because of this air pollution, many lives are to be lost in China because of cancer. To expand their industries, China is sacrificing many lives and releasing harmful gases into the atmosphere. Global warming can cause prolonged droughts, or even floods and infrared radiation in the air and vegatations and plantations are ruined or poisioned, and many people eat these poisoned crops, which lead to severe food poisoning or even death.

Therefore, this is a very difficult decision. To further expand the industry but cause many deaths and unhealthy and bad air, or not to? If they don't, they would be lagging behind and be a less developed country but if they do, pollution and global warming would be worsened.
