China's dilemma (Wen Shien)

China has grown tremendously in terms of industrialization since the 1990s. Since the, they have been expanding their industries by building more factories to manufacture product so be shipped to other countries and because of that, it has been faced with a very big problem.

With more factories and construction of buildings, china has been emitting a lot of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. And this has led to many problems to the environment, for example, the major haze issues in china recently and many more. With the more advancing technology, it also calls for a higher consumption of energy. With the higher demand for energy consumption, china has to find for a cheaper source of energy and burning of fossil fuels are the cheapest and most accessible source of energy. However, this also produces and emits a lot lf carbon dioxide which thus contributes to global warming. 

China is then faced with the dilemma as they have to choose whether economic growth or the environment is more important. As finding alternative energy or other ways to reduce greenhouse gases emission is not easy and requires lots of money. Thus I feelt hat china is faced with a big dilemma.
