China's model
China is standing on the top of the most developed country-list around the world.China grew rapidly based on manufacturing and industrialization after Mao 's age. Dang made the effective plans of modernization of that promoting agricultural sector, industrialization sector and technology standards and enhancing the military strength.Its role is become vivid as its rapid rise in the aspects of other nation.
Its geography is harmony with agriculture and so the citizen are mainly depends on the agriculture.Promoting agriculture is the main core of the strategic reforms.The machine are applied to do agriculture for faster growth. It encourage the self-manufacturing system in agriculture. The mantra of "sustainable development" is constantly on the lips of international agencies and non-governmental organizations engaged in assistance to lesser-developed countries. The concept seems innocuous enough; after all, who would favor "unsustainable development?" But the fundamental premise of the idea-that economic growth, if left unconstrained and unmanaged by the state, threatens unnecessary harm to the environment and may prove economically ephemeral-is dubious. Indeed, the policy prescriptions that are generally endorsed by those concerned about sustainable development are inimical to China 's best environmental and economic interests.

This is so for three reasons:

* If economic growth were to be slowed or stopped-and sustainable development is essentially concerned with putting boundaries around economic growth-it would be impossible to improve the environmental conditions of China; * The bias for central planning on the part of those endorsing the concept of sustainable development will only serve to make environmental protection more expensive, and hence, China will would be able to "purchase" less of it; and * Strict pursuit of sustainable development, as many environmentalists mean it, would only do violence to the welfare of

    | Some people think that sustainable development is not a useful concept, because it may be impossible to implement—or even to define—in the case of nonrenewable resources. Others think that it is an extremely important concept, if only because it makes us think about the needs of future generations in planning resource management. What do you think?…

    Economic growth can be defined as the increase of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) over time, whereas economic development is a process to develop a countries infrastructure in order to improve the quality of life. In order to achieve both these objectives, governments must implement certain strategies. An instance of a country implementing this is China. China is an emerging economy whose government implements a number of strategies in order to increase both economic growth and economic development. These strategies include; China’s open door policy, agricultural reform strategy, trade policy, and investment policy. However, often these strategies can leave negative aftershocks, for example, in relation to environmental sustainability.…

    China’s influence in the world economy was minimal until the late 1980’s but we are now seeing China being one of the most independent countries and leading the manufacturing producing market. China started with a fragile economy with minimal infrastructure from frequent revolutions and invasions in 1949. In the early 1980’s, China’s economy was still extremely weak as a result of its inward looking government system of a socialist planned economy under the Mao government. This resulted in living standards below world averages and economic growth at nearly zero. China has risen from the edge of economic obscurity to lead the world in terms of economic growth, and this is done is just over a quarter of a decade. The People’s Republic of China has transformed from a planned economy into a socialist market economy and is now the world’s second largest economy to the USA being number one, by nominal GDP at $7.3 trillion and by purchasing power parity (PPP). “Pay attention to what’s going on in China. “ – Jeff Mbanga – The Observer.…

    Why Is China Failing?

    • 1011 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The first claim is that China 's large economic growth is failing is because of pollution. The economic cost of environmental harm, measured in public health, worker absenteeism and remediation efforts, is becoming prohibitively high. Decades of pollution from hundreds of factories have allowed industrial poisons to leach into groundwater, contaminating drinking supplies and leading to a rash of cancers. China 's huge population and grand economic ambitions make it the most important environmental actor in the world today, with the single exception of the United States. Like the United States, China could all but single-handedly make climate change, ozone depletion, and a host of other hazards a reality for people all over the world. According to many Chinese environmentalists, "If economic growth stops, people will go back to the old, dirty, cheaper methods of production. Worse, there will be political instability, and that will overshadow everything; in that case no one will have time to worry about the environment. Of course, this rapid economic growth will cause additional environmental damage; some things in the environment are irreversible. That 's why I think China will have to lose something -- some species, some wetlands, something. We are working very hard to strengthen our environment. But, much as I regret it,…

    The rapid rise of China as a major economic power within a time span of about three decades is often described by analysts as one of the greatest economic success stories in modern times. From 1979 (when economic reforms began) to 2011, China’s real gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an average annual rate of nearly 10%. From 1980 to 2011, real GDP grew 19-fold in real terms, real per capita GDP increased 14-fold, and an estimated 500 million people were raised out of extreme poverty. China is now the world’s second-largest economy and some analysts predict it could become the largest within a few years. Yet, on a per capita basis, China remains a relatively poor country.…

    Environmental sustainability and economic development can be considered contending imperatives. We as humans have a burning desire for economic growth and prosperity, while at the same time we have a need for the resources the planet provides us. Typically in order to grow our economy it requires that we deplete natural resources such as lumber, oil and minerals by means of deforestation, drilling and mining. It is important for us to realize that if we do not deal with environmental issues right now; the consequences could be devastating not only to ourselves, but to future generations. We are now seeing more and more concern for ‘sustainable development’ that “meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” [1]…

    This paper seeks to review the Clean Development Mechanism (“CDM”) projects in China on the environmental aspect of sustainable development. The author provides an overview of the definition of sustainable development and suggests the standard, criteria and approaches in deciding whether a CDM project contributes to sustainable development. In the meanwhile, observations are made on why the CDM projects in China could be said to have come a long way and yet not actually contributing to environmental sustainability. In particular, the HFC-23 projects and the lack of an international definition of sustainable development have much to do with China’s CDM project not being environmentally sustainable. This paper then provides suggestions in making China’s CDM projects sustainable in the environmental sense.…

    With a limit to the amount of fossil fuel it can access, and with these fuels anyway creating significant environmental damage and associated socioeconomic problems, China’s top leadership seems to be realizing that the old ‘growth at all costs’ model that has previously been followed threatens not only the country’s energy security, but its very survival. A green development pathway based on low energy consumption and low carbon emissions is essential if China is to find a sustainable path to growth.…

    China’s question for development is amiable yet their actions are counterproductive to their primal goal of social progression. The nation of China is founded on a systematic government that seeks to implement development measures to achieve wealth and prosperity even at the cost of the lives of its citizens. The policies implemented by the government and business entrepreneurs often neglect the basic rights of citizens as factories and transport systems are built in respective of the inhabitants of the land and the repercussion that would arise form such dire human neglect. The article “A collapsing natural environment?” by Su Xiaokang and Perry Link provides comprehensive analysis of the scope of natural degradation that both the ecosystem and people of china are subjected to by insensitive governmental policies.…
