China - Pollution due to industrialization

China is still a developing country and hence they feel the the need to modernize and catch up to the more developed countries like America and Europe. In order to do that, they need to pursue higher economic growth by building factories. However, by doing so, they are escalating pollution. Factories give out harmful gases like carbon dioxide that will cause global warming. The more factories there are, the warmer the Earth gets. If they continue to build more factories, they will give out more harmful gases that will deeply affect the environment. China is already the number one country that gives out the most amount of harmful gases from factories. Stopping the increasing number of factories should be a priority for them. However, if they don't build factories, they will not be able to improve. Because of these two factors China has to consider, China certainly is stuck between whether to cause the world more harm or to improve themselves.
