China Is The Most Overpopulated Country

The world economy has improved rapidly as a result of globalization in past decades. However, many environmental problems began to emerge during the economic boom. Especially, in the middle of the 20th century after World War II, many countries restarted economic development and urban construction. At this time, severe air pollution influenced a number of regions. For instance, London was affected by a critical air pollution event, called the Great Smog of London, in December 1952. During a week, 4000 people had died as a direct result of smog and over 100000 were got ill by the human respiratory tract. Subsequently, from 1978 to now, China has seen a great amount of economic increase, with its gross domestic product (GDP) expanding hundreds time since the reform and opening up. Although China has obtained a huge progress with the globalization, it has resulted in a series of environmental problems at the same time. The aim of the essay is to discover how the globalization affected the environment on air pollution, soil pollution and biological invasion in China. And I intend to analyze the instances of the connection between air

Air pollution by definition, is the presence in or introduction into the air of a substance which has harmful or poisonous effects. Beijing is a major Chinese city that endures air pollution significantly. A study on the global burden of disease found that outdoor air pollution contributed to 1.2 million premature deaths in China each year (Chemical & Engineering News,2017). As China is the world's second largest economy behind the United States, it is most definitely under the influence of globalization. Globalization causes industrialization, a process that will inevitably create pollution.70% of air pollution in China is from the tailpipes of automobiles (Conserve Energy Future, 2017). Thus, the introduction of advanced transportation brought by globalization has adversely affected China's atmosphere.

However, China accounts for 33% of the worlds Greenhouse gas emissions, mainly arising as a result of rapid urbanisation and industrialisation, and the deforestation that occurs in its wake. China is also suffering from desertification, coastal reclamation and severe climate change as are result of their long time blasé attitude towards environmental issues. While the Chinese Government now do acknowledge that environmental oversight has occurred, strict censorship within China deprives outsiders of receiving the full story of the environmental calamity that is occurring within China. Citizens within China are becoming increasingly concerned with governmental policy that regards further unnecessary degradation of the environment. A retired party official revealed that there had been 50,000 environmental protests within China in 2012 alone. China has amended numerous government acts and implemented strict new regulations in an attempt to curb pollution and Greenhouse gas production. However, the problem China faces cannot be swept under the 'bureaucratic rug' so to speak. The problem rests with the lack of an alternative clean energy to the fossil fuels currently used to fuel China's resource hungry industry. China has implemented numerous 'real world' measures to reduce environmental impact. Perhaps the most well known of these projects is 'Green Wall of China', which is a 4,500 km green belt

Last year, china had an environmental crisis due to rapid growth of industrialization. This had become a serious threat to China as they had to use roughly 9% of its gross national income. The air

According to history of China, water consumption, growing population and demand for higher living standards were increasing steadily since the 1950s, when industrial development of the country started. In theory that could lead to new economic era and growth of the country, but in practice that caused one of the most important environmental problems in China. First of all, the pollution of water resources in this country goes deep into history in the 1970s. According to Wang (1989), the situation hasn’t changed for the better and the rate of pollution increased rapidly. Even nowadays the government of China cannot tackle

In the article, “The Filth They Breath in China,” author, Michael Auslin, discusses the health concerns that citizens in China are forced to face, and how the country put itself in that position. China positioned the importance of its economic success, above the health of its people. The air quality has reached a state where people are urged to stay inside in order to avoid the dense smog. Also, industries have dumped an immense amount of waste into water sources, causing them to be unsafe for public use. These extreme living conditions should catch the eye of those living in the United States, in order to prevent the same from happening to them.

This book is a harsh criticism China's housing reform system for destroying its own people, written by the author who observes China from liberal's point of view. The author, Qin Shao wrote for those people who want to learn about the large-scale housing revolution in China throughout crucial experiences that citizens have gone through. It criticize the demolition and relocation system, questioning the level of morals. In introduction, he gives concretely negative words of China's abusing housing system and as he explains the historical process in order. For instance, Shao describes the government's policies and its corruption as “crucial,” “distrustful,” and he even calls them as “ugly twins.” There

The major problem concerning China is over population. Due to overpopulation, the demand for energy to light every house and for petrol to fuel every car is becoming too great. With added pressure of providing for the people, more natural

One of China’s best successes has in turn been one of its biggest downfalls. One of the main problems is China’s greatest success which has been its phenomenal economic growth. This is one of the main drivers of the current environmental problems that the country faces. Factories dump pollutants into the air and water. It is difficult to see the Chinese government making the significant sacrifices required to improve their environment if it means slowing down their economic growth.

Most of China’s geographical features are plateaus, plains, basins, foothills, and mountains. Rugged plateaus, foothills and mountains occupy nearly two-thirds of the land. The land is higher in the West and lower in the East like a three-step ladder. China is surrounded by 14 countries. Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, India, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Russia. Being bordered by so many continents makes for easy and fast trading and sales. Despite having all of this luscious lands and surroundings, China has one huge problem. It is the world’s largest source of carbon emissions. Some of the major cities fail to meet international health standards. Life expectancy on the north side of

Whereas our world is already experiencing an overpopulation problem, they need more kids for future labor given that an aging population could jeopardize china's economic ascent. Since 1979 the people of China have lived by a policy only allowing one child per family known as, the one child policy. As of 2013 and on they have eased this policy out. This stems from the fact that China’s population is aging and this means there will not be many young people left to continue building the economy.

In China there are 1.376 billion people, in 1982 they hit 1 billion people. China’s growth rate is 0.87% witch isn’t anywhere near Papua New Guinea or Congo but, in the late 1970s and early 80s Chinese government introduced a one child policy, so if you were caught with more than one child you were fined. This was because the Chinese were worried about population growth. When they dropped the idea in ____ a lot of people wanted a second child, so that would have definitely helped the population growth. In ten years’ time there will be around 1.458 billion people living in china if the population growth stays the same. That’s the most populated country in the world, I wouldn’t be surprised if they brought the one child policy

In December of 2015, China was faced with a “red alert” for air pollution. In an article from The New York Times titled “Smog So Thick, Beijing Comes to a Standstill,” Edward Wong stated, “For many residents, the red alert...underscored the devil’s handshake that China has made in recent years: the trading of a healthy living environment for breakneck economic growth.” There are many negative consequences of air pollution. Vaclav Smil’s “Environmental Degradation in China,” describes the various problems that China’s environment is facing. Smil explains that “air pollution is a ubiquitous and particularly troublesome problem in virtually all of China’s large cities and industrials areas” (778). China’s polluted air, along with the disappearance of good farmland, forest depletion and water resources, are all areas of concern that Smil brings to attention. These areas should not concern only China’s population, but it should be concerning to everyone around the world. Not only does air pollution have a negative effect on the environment, but it also has negative effects on society, as well. Air pollution can be explained as a social problem since many of these environmental problems are possible ramifications of urbanization. As higher-class individuals make lifestyle choices that directly impact the environment in a negative way, the entire population suffers the consequences. Because of the damaging effects of air pollution, China must develop a way to remain urbanized

China is a place known for it’s innovations and a knowledgeable powerhouse being at the forefront of technology for decades. It is also known for is frequent issues with pollution and not only in designated cities, the pollution problem is wide spread. China is in fact the largest consumer of coal in the world. This is because China uses coal as its main source of energy and delivers 70 percent of that energy for all of the nation’s needs. The problem with this strong reliance on coal for energy needs is that it emits the most carbon dioxide per electricity than any other energy source produced today, and it turns out that China has upped their usage by 17% in the last couple of years according to TIME Magazine (Worland).

The population on China is constantly increasing and it is increasing quickly. Because of the population increase there are more and more carbon emission, which is causing a lot of pollution in China. “While China’s economic boom has greatly accelerated the devastation of its land and resources, the roots of its environmental problem stretch back centuries” (Albert and Xu, 2016). China’s environment is becoming more and more polluted and it is also causing harm to the plants, animals and ecosystem there. China’s population began booming and has increased by about 10% every year for the last decade (Albert and Xu, 2016). While the population increases so does the industrialization of the country which in turn increases the carbon emissions and pollution. The water is also becoming increasingly
