Description
A recent surge in economy has put China at the forefront of the world in terms of industry and gross domestic product. With the rise in manufacturing, the economy has changed to a more urbanized country focused on manufacturing. A booming economy has caused an already vulnerable environment to fall further into submission. Water shortages, forest loss, soil degradation, and pollution are the most threatening environmental problems affecting not only China itself but the rest of the world. This study aims to explore various effects of China's industrialization towards nature and the people affected by it.
