Shanghai and China´s Economic Rise

Dong's book, Shanghai, introduced Shanghai, born of greed and shame. Shanghai is like an ugly girl who grew up in the Opium War with the failure of the Emperor Empire. (From the end of page 19 to 1949) "In Shanghai it is progressing more than other parts of China - China is aware that China needs to adopt contemporary business and technology. p.66, Dong) "Shanghai is the Treaty Port, which is governed by three independent municipalities, became China 's largest city in the first half of the 20th century, and has become the largest city in the trade, finance, manufacturing, journalism, publication and education

Shanghai is one of the most important economic, financial, trade and shipping regions in China today. This is due to the rapid development of industries over the past 25 years. Shanghai is responsible for the manufacture of telecommunications equipment, automobiles, electronic equipment, steel products, petrochemical products and biomedicine. In the vicinity of Ningbo and Hangzhou, Hangzhou Bay bridge and land high speed railway line Shanghai. Every day, there are heavy consumer goods and goods.

This model is currently being repeated in Asia. In recent decades, the coal-based China's economy has risen rapidly, resulting in aerosol emissions darkening the sky of Shanghai, Beijing and other big cities, and temporary of global warming It caused a slowdown. By implementing pollution prevention, China is resented by the civil air strikes against the people. The first evidence suggests that they are already functioning. Samset believes that suppressing direct health benefits due to air pollution means that China will stick to these efforts despite the impact of global warming. "Asia's aerosol purification - saving direct lives by reducing air pollution - can be given priority over strong greenhouse gas emissions, it is very reasonable," he explained.

Environmental pollution and environmental degradation brought economic losses to China. The economic loss in 2005 (mainly due to air pollution) is calculated as 7% of China's GDP. By 2002, this proportion has increased to 10.3%, economic loss due to water pollution (6.1%) began to exceed the loss due to air pollution. Regarding GDP growth rate, China is always one of the countries with the highest performance (9.64% over the past 10 years). However, high economic growth places great pressure on the environment, and China faces greater environmental problems than most countries. In 2010, China ranked No. 121 in 163 countries of the environmental performance index.

Over the past few decades, China has experienced the fastest economic development in the world. At the same time, it is facing environmental degradation and development barriers. Shanghai, China's most productive, has played a particularly important role in China's economic and political development. However, cities can not avoid confrontation with environmental problems, especially water pollution. Rapid economic growth and industrialization put a great pressure on the urban environment
