One-fifth of China's land is polluted

[Zodiac4u]

Yes but this still does not have anything to do with China. NAFTA did NOT include China. The pollution in China is a direct result of all of the industrialized countries using China has the factory of the world to make everything including some of the toxic products or the the step in the manufacturing process that involves the most polluting and toxic ingredients that they otherwise would've had to incur hefty cost to control and mitigate the environmental impact or would've even been allowed to manufacture in their own countries due to the pressure from the environmental and various watchdog organizations. They pay dirt cheap price to make at-the-time third world countries like China and other nations to make them. China was poor at the time and was eager to make money and the West had the money but is interested in keeping their own soil, water and air clean so everybody is happy. And you are right there is no EPA regulations (weak as it is in the West) in China that would've otherwise kept tighter scrutiny on the environmental impact of the manufacturing process.

China's pollution is not only stemming from just being the factory of the world; it's also the landfill of the world. All those non-biodegradable products, where do you think they end up? They are not in your backyard. They all end up getting dumped in China.

Well what goes around comes around because we are all inhabiting the same earth so pollution in one place would eventually find its way to reach another. Just because the pollution is not in your backyard doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And now that China is rich, it's natural that it wants to buy up cleaner land to compensate. It's the west's corporate greed that dirtied China's land, now it needs to pay China back with clean land. If Australia and New Zealand wants to complain, they should complain to the USA, the country in the west that has the heaviest industrialization that just sought to fatten its own pockets and at the same time turn a blind eye to problems.

Yes, lets out-Law guns because they make people kill each other, or lets outlaw cars because they make people drink and drive. Seriously? You want to blame the west for wakening china's greed? So when your credit card is too high? You don't blame yourself,
you blame the item you bought.
You don't know much about China or its Genghis Khan mentality. I agree China should have remained a asleep but NFTA woke them up. Lets use our heads and let the adults take responsibility for there actions. Cheers

Ok you need to educate yourself more about economics and globalization and all its related phenomenons before you troll. This conversation is becoming absurd.

Just one last thing if you could keep in mind: NAFTA has nothing to do with China or China's pollution; it's actually countering against the trades with China. You need to stop listening and just swallowing whatever has been fed to you by perhaps your Support-Trump lobby group leaders. Trump is against NAFTA for totally different reasons and it has NOTHING to do with China. China and now its pollution is a WHOLE new different issue. Try to do some reading on your own and do some independent thinking.

Of course, China while moving from an emerging to a developing country has many problems and some very serious.

But most countries even the US during developing/advancing period in terms of several decades would encounter her own challenging process in order to overcome various issues/problems.

Especially nowadays due to almost all countries are engaged in an interconnected world via the Internet and very fast global transportation facilities.

In the past, many western countries even used wars to force China for having to open their market to be a bit more free internationally.

My view is we would have to be patient through observing whether a country would truly intend to improve some critical issues that could affect overall global citizens. Such as environmental and human right issues.

China: A Keynesian Monster

07/31/2017Per Bylund

https://mises.org/blog/china-keynesian-monster

The much talked about “One belt, one road” project is the same thing on an international scale. The project aims to recreate the silk road with modern infrastructure, connecting the Far East with Europe via both land and water. Consisting of numerous infrastructure projects in about 60 countries and trade deals to leverage the projects, the OBOR is a political project to connect the East and the West. It is state-planned and state-sponsored, and intended to, at least during the build phase, create projects primarily for Chinese companies abroad (though the immediate effect seems to have been capital outflow). It will most likely boost Chinese GDP, just as intended, and will be a catastrophic failure due to its reliance on planning rather than markets. But as states tend to think of GDP statistics as actual economic growth, rather than as a crude and faulty measure of it, the project may seem like a success at first.

What China teaches us about economics and economic policy is the lesson that is generally not provided in college classrooms: the important distinction within production between value creation and capital consumption. The story of China’s economic development is to a great extent one of unsustainable, centrally planned growth specifically in terms of GDP — but a lack of sustainable value creation, capital accumulation, and entrepreneurship.
