Chinese Government and The Environmental Problems

China accounts for about 3% of the world's population, about 3 billion people (Morris, 2009, p. 111). In addition, China has become one of the world's largest producer countries within 30 years (Fawssett, 2009, page 27). However, this rapid development paid compensation and caused various environmental problems. Coincidentally, 16 cities in China are listed in the list of 20 most cosmetically contaminated cities in the world (Fawssett, 2009, p. 15). Therefore, this article explains the reasons for the environmental problems in China and then evaluates the Chinese government and people's claims to deal with these environmental problems.

In China, there are many environmental problems that seriously affect its biophysical environment and human health. Rapid industrialization and moderate environmental monitoring have caused these problems. The Chinese government acknowledged these problems and made various responses that led to some improvements but was criticized for inadequate response. As of 2012, people's extremism in government decision making is rising, and these decisions are considered to be harmful to the environment. (Wikipedia)

China is struggling to quadruple the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2000 by 2020 and will face further serious environmental problems. Despite these environmental hygiene issues, the Chinese government began paying attention to these problems, and began to realize the development in the process of economically developing from a strategic shift from the economic development to the environment and building an environmentally friendly society with energy saving There. China's economic development can be the basis for improving environmental sanitation. In the early 1980s, the Chinese government invested 1.6 billion dollars a year for environmental protection, accounting for 0.51% of China's GDP, increased to 66 billion dollars in 2008, reaching 1.49% of China's GDP ( China National Statistics Bureau, 2009). In 2007, China recently reported for the first time that domestic chemical oxygen demand and total sulfur dioxide emissions in the atmosphere decreased by 3.1% and 4.7% respectively year on year.
