Yixuan reflection

My opinions on whether china should give up on developing and stop global warming. 

Personally, I feel that it is normal for a country to want to be better than other countries like how we compare ourselves with others and want to be superior and better than them. Hence I understand why China wants to develop and become a developed country. However when it's developing, it starts to hav more factories and industries, which leads to more emission of greenhouse gases like carbon monoxide.nChina is very very big and if each factory feel that it's ok to emit carbon monoxide into the air as they are just a small factory and it won't affect much, when all the greenhouse gases emitted by all the factories, it isn't just a small amount anymore as the Chinese saying goes 积少成多. A bit from each factory brings global warming to a whole new level. 

Developing a country it's just about the process, there is also the effects. After developing the county, the citizens there would most probably travel around using cars instead of walking. There will also be more shopping malls. Who would want to shop in a hot mall right, so there will of course be the air conditional. Air conditionals also contribute to the amount of green house gases in the atmosphere. Not only these, people would also starting more plastic bags. 

If China becomes a developed country, it would definitely contribute a lot to global warming and the process of developing it also contributes a lot to global warming. If in the process of developing the country, the country's air pollution becomes really really bad? Would the people still enjoy being in a developed country? And what will happen to the health of the people living there. 

Hence, I feel that china should slow down it's developing rate and help to save the earth. When earth dies, there's no point in being a developed country anymore.
