By pursing higher economic growth, china would have to sacrifice a lot. The pollution will keep on escalating due to industrialisation.
With the rapid growth of economic, china would be more industrialised and build more factories, which would contribute to the already high carbon emissions rates in China. This way, for china to decrease its carbon emission rates in the future would be a difficult and tedious task.
By pursing a higher economic growth, the income gap between the social classes will widen. The rich will be richer, the poor will be poorer, and not everyone has equal opportunities from the growth. If this goes on, in the future, when there are more poor than rich, and they can no longer stand the suffering brought by the income disparity, china might have a revolution, causing its economy to drop, and the whole cycle to repeat itself again.
However, there are also benefits from China's pursuit in economic growth. The standard of living will improve and employment rates will increase. People will be consuming more high end goods and services, which is an indication of their loves improving. Also, with industrialisation, there will be more job opportunities available, increasing the employment rates and jobs availability, which is very important for china as china has a huge and growing populations. With more jobs, more people have a stable income to live on, and the people are happy. Also, it will improve the country's economy.
In conclusion, China's pursuit in higher economy growth will bring upon drastic effects, like a huge environment impact. I feel that it is not worth it to invest too much in industrialisation and eventually cause the terrible environment impacts, which can already be seen in some places in china, like Beijing. China should focus on curing the pollution problems, and find another way perhaps to boost its economy instead of relying too much on industrialisation.
