Chloe's Reflection on China dilemma

China is a developing country today, with a goal of becoming a developed country. 


I personally would not blame them for pursuing higher economic growth as all developing countries must go through such a process in order to achieve being a developed country. On the other hand, if they do this, the rate of pollution would be escalating due to the industrialization, causing a higher rate of global warming. 


Making a decision between these two important factors is not an easy job. The decision made would either affect China, herself or the future of the world. If I am in a position to decide, I would be clueless as the consequences of my decisions would cause a negative impact to the other party. However, I think I would come to the conclusion by choosing the latter solution. I would decrease the number of industries built in China to decrease carbon dioxide emission to the surrounding atmosphere, in hope that this would able to decrease the rate of global warming all over the world. 


Being a developed country can be achieved in the future, lead by our future generations. However, there would be no turn back if we do not stop global warming now, at our generation. We should help out as much as possible now, before it is all too late. 


Therefore, I personally feel that China's dilemma between pursuing higher economic growth and escalating pollution due to the industrialization should be prevented and resolved by concentrating on the number of industries built and prevent as much carbon dioxide emission as possible released into the atmosphere.
