China's Serious Pollution Problem

Are you going to China? Then I will tell you pollution in China is very serious. The Chinese and government official's environmental protection consciousness is very low. The Chinese industry economy increases quickly; pollution grows more serious more; and the great majority of Chinese are insensitive to the pollution. This is a Chinese, as well as, global disaster in the making. I request you help China.

Car and motorcycle traffic is increasing greatly. The population in China is multitudinous"1300000000".is five times as the population of the US. China is short of cultivated land. in spite of this case,The Chinese government is developing the private car industry greatly, new highway construction will take up large areas of land. Traffic accidents increased greatly. In 2003 200,000 people died in traffic accidents in China.


Building development is in mass confusion. Building technique is primitive and building in consuming large amounts of materials. In 2003 China poured 44% of the world's cement. Building a house will consume more amounts of cement brick and decorative colorful brick in China than The Western Nation. But these houses make little use of insulation letting heat flow out in the winter and letting the heat in during the hot summer months. House repairs are more difficult, too.chinese concerns beauty of own house very much,but chinese don't concern about environment round the house.they spend large money on their own house,but they are stingy in cost of the environment around their house.


Garbage removal is primitive.chinese don't know Garbage classification.waste plastic bags is visible everywhere. The Chinese people like to use plastic bags and batteries just once and then throw them away.china government pay great attention to beauty of city.they afford large money in images structure of city.but they pay little attention to garbage classification.large amounts of garbage is made by large consumption.


River is polluted by chemical fertilizer,pesticide,herbicides,chemical synthetic detergent(washing powders),industry waste water,human excrement and urine,garbage.waste water excrement and urine flow directly into river without any sanitation practices.the most river in china is unsuitable for drinking.many china people is harmed by drinking water in polluted river.


Education in protecting environment is blank. People's understanding and concept of protecting the environment is quite low. China's people are poor, but they are not frugal.Chinese are concerned the beauty of house but don't concerned the beauty of environment,Chinese are concerned about their own health but don't care about environmental health. They like to inject and swallow more medicines,eat more wild animals, but they don't realize that the polluted food, water and air is threatening their health greatly.

China is imitating the West's high pattern of consumerism. Chinese hope per a people owning private car and Motorcycle,living big and big house. Consuming large power source as Western nations do. The Chinese government is making effort to realize this aim. China is producing large cars and motorcycles, large cement and brick.Exploiting large coal mines and oil field, large ore mines. Building large multi-story buildings and huge highway construction patterns. Enlarging blindly more and more area of cities and towns land. Large areas of land are damaged by the exploitation of natural resources.

The population in China is multitudinous, 1.3 billion(perhaps 1.4or1.5 billion)people, five times the population of the US. China is short of cultivated land. The actual situation demands that China doesn't imitate the West's high consumption. China should develop electronic information consumption. Should develop economizing energy industries. If not, the Chinese would ruin their own environment,in further more, affect the global environment.

The Chinese don't realize that pollution is their most dangerous enemy.

Yes, I heard about the environmental mis-practices of the Chinese government. I don't think they'll change ways anytime soon however; they feel that increasing the economy is the most important thing.

Since you live in China, could you tell us if there is some sort of green movement? How many people agree with your views?

Also, could you tell what people think of the Chinese communist party?

Thank you.

as a frequent traveller to china, i have seen the slow transformation from about 10 years ago to today- there are many more cars, and less bikes, at least in beijing.

the problem with china's new found economic growth is the pollution- think how much pollution america makes- imagine how much pollution china could potentially make, with three times the population!

i'm not a green, but i would have hoped that china, as a superpower, would have more concern for the environment than america. however, it doesnt look like that.

Though China overall is on the wrong track environmentally, i have heard of some 'green' cities being designed. This is encouraging because people need to realize that environmental friendlyness and sustainability ARE NOT harmful to economic growth in the long term.

We all know that pollution at this time is a critical problem due to the melting polar ice caps and global warming and yes, the Chinese government is wrong to ignore environmental concerns. However, you have to think what has occured that has brought us to this critical limit of Earth to deal with our pollution: the Industrial Revolution. Therefore, China isn't wrong to industrialize because the environmental problems that its causing is nothing compare to what occured during the INdustrial Revolution in Europe and America. These industrialized nations should feel obligated help industrializing nations deal with these problems rather than sit on the sidelines for criticizing them for contributing to environmental problems that they themselves created and brought the earth to its critical limit in acclimatizing to these problems

I think the envionmental problem in Vietnam is like in China. Perhaps it isn't as serious as your country because the increasing speed of economy in VN isn't as hot as in China. However, the problems you told about the pollution in your country is also what are happening in Vietnam day by day. A real green organization isn't in VN. The Government is concerning to protect the environment but in fact, there are not effective methods to solve it. Like Chinese, the conciousness of Vietnamese in protecting the environment is very low. This causes many difficulties to the efforts of the Government. The Hochiminh communist youth organization launchs lots of activities to protect the environment and calls for the consciousness of citizens, such as "the vanguard Saturday", "the green Sunday"... But I think those are not enough. Chenyu, I want to know in China what activities do the Government or the social organizations carry out to protect the environment?
