China and the Environment:
The Costs of Power
In the past fifty years, China has grown into one of the world’s great superpowers. China is in many ways the great rival of the United States: though the country is communist, it has a strong army and a very, very strong economy. Many experts agree that the United States and China are the two most powerful countries in the world. However, with China’s economic growth have come tolls on the environment. The greenhouse effect, soil erosion, and sewage disposal are all huge problems that China must now begin to confront.
China burns millions of tons of coal to heat its homes and to create electricity. Coal releases a poisonous compound called sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. Sulfur dioxide then contributes to the greenhouse effect and to the creation of acid rain. Every year, thousands of Chinese are dying of respiratory illness (sickness in the lungs). These deaths are caused by all of the coal that China’s factories and power plants burn every day.
Another environmental problem in China is sewage disposal. (“Sewage” is any liquid waste from bathrooms or drains on the streets.) Most sewers drain directly into rivers and lakes in China. Over 700 million people then drink water that has been contaminated with sewage. Every year, thousands die of cancers as a result of this contaminated water supply.
