As the world's largest source of carbon emissions, China is responsible for a third of the planet's greenhouse gas output and according to the World Bank in 2007, 16 of the world's 20 most polluted cities are in China.
In my opinion, China should not pursue higher economic growth when there is escalating pollution due to the industrialization. Factory and vehicle and large scale use of formaldehyde in construction and furniture, causes air pollution which can cause lung and heart problems.
The report stated that hundreds of thousands of premature deaths and incidents of serious respiratory illness have been caused by exposure to industrial air pollution. Seriously contaminated by industrial discharges, many of China's waterways are largely unfit for direct human use.
This shows that China's industrialization have been polluting the environment to the extent that many of China's waters are mostly unfit for direct human use as they are seriously contaminated by the industrial discharges, and has caused alot of deaths and incidents of serious respiratory illness.
Overly polluted environment will also cause the tourism of China to fall as people would not want to travel to China as it has an unpleasant environment that would make their stay uncomfortable and thus pursuing higher economic growth will instead cause the economic to drop because of the industrialization.
In conclusion, China should solve the problem of the escalating pollution due to industrialization first before thinking of pursuing higher economic growth.
