China is imitating the West's high pattern of consumerism. Chinese hope per a people owning private car and Motorcycle,living big and big house. Consuming large power source as Western nations do. The Chinese government is making effort to realize this aim. China is producing large cars and motorcycles, large cement and brick.Exploiting large coal mines and oil field, large ore mines. Building large multi-story buildings and huge highway construction patterns. Enlarging blindly more and more area of cities and towns land. Large areas of land are damaged by the exploitation of natural resources. Car and motorcycle traffic is increasing greatly. The population in China is multitudinous"1300000000".is five times as the population of the US. China is short of cultivated land. in spite of this case,The Chinese government is developing the private car industry greatly, new highway construction will take up large areas of land. Traffic accidents increased greatly. In 2003 200,000 people died in traffic accidents in China. Building development is in mass confusion. Building technique is primitive and building in consuming large amounts of materials. In 2003 China poured 44% of the world's cement. Building a house will consume more amounts of cement brick and decorative colorful brick in China than The Western Nation. But these houses make little use of insulation letting heat flow out in the winter and letting the heat in during the hot summer months. House repairs are more difficult, too.chinese concerns beauty of own house very much,but chinese don't concern about environment round the house.they spend large money on their own house,but they are stingy in cost of the environment around their house. Garbage removal is primitive.chinese don't know Garbage classification.waste plastic bags is visible everywhere. The Chinese people like to use plastic bags and batteries just once and then throw them away.china government pay great attention to beauty of city.they afford large money in images structure of city.but they pay little attention to garbage classification.large amounts of garbage is made by large consumption. River is polluted by chemical fertilizer,pesticide,herbicides,chemical synthetic detergent(washing powders),industry waste water,human excrement and urine,garbage.waste water excrement and urine flow directly into river without any sanitation practices.the most river in china is unsuitable for drinking.many china people is harmed by drinking water in polluted river. Education in protecting environment is blank. People's understanding and concept of protecting the environment is quite low. China's people are poor, but they are not frugal.Chinese are concerned the beauty of house but don't concerned the beauty of environment,Chinese are concerned about their own health but don't care about environmental health. They like to inject and swallow more medicines,eat more wild animals, but they don't realize that the polluted food, water and air is threatening their health greatly. The population in China is multitudinous, 1.3 billion(perhaps 1.4or1.5 billion)people, five times the population of the US. China is short of cultivated land. The actual situation demands that China doesn't imitate the West's high consumption. China should develop electronic information consumption. Should develop economizing energy industries. If not, the Chinese would ruin their own environment,in further more, affect the global environment. The Chinese don't realize that pollution is their most dangerous enemy. ----------------------------------------------------- name:chenyu.

I adore a life which is simple but rich in spirit..oppose high consumption.
I personally think that instead of imitating the US lifestyle, China should invest in alternative technologies (which can be used to save the environment, or at least harm it at a lesser magnitude AND sell it to the Western world for money ) If only there are visionaries... *SIGH*
Can you be more specific? There are aspects of Japanese lifestyle which are less-than-environmental friendly: monumental waste of paper and other packaging... Consumerism... I am sure just copying the Japanese lifestyle and culture isn't any better than copying the American/Western lifestyle and culture... <_<
china shouldn't emulate any country...it has 1.3 billion people, that's going to lead to way more problems than any political/economic design is capable of solving of course there are a ton of measures not being taken that could potentially lead china in a better direction, but the government is extremely paranoid of the very large rural lower-class becoming prone to rebellion, they choose to take things reeeeeely slow which is probably the only option they have for a control strategy fucked up world we live in
The polluted river is black, floating bubble(foam),and very Stinky.without any fishes in it. large Livestock and poultry excrement flow into rivers Huangchuan Livestock and poultry industry led regional economic development, but it also brings serious water pollution Aquaculture technology is advanced,but feces sewage treatment technology is primitive large breeding livestock and poultry excreta discharged into the river almost without any treatment

chinese government reallly need to resolve the population problem that occured in china. these population will affect the entire world and eventually human would be extinct if china do not comply with the other countries about popultion
China should really look into this problem because not only it is affecting the country but is affecting the world...
