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.

China is also in the process of building the Three Gorges Dam. This Dam will be the largest damn on the planet when completed in 2009. It promises to create hydroelectric power for China and control flooding along the Yangtze River. However, once the river is damned up, many hundreds of endangered species will lose their habitats and become extinct. Ancient ruins will be lost underwater, and millions of people will have to leave their homes.

The most dangerous problem facing China, however, is its erosion problem. During the Great Leap Forward and after, the Chinese cut down millions of acres of forests. Without the trees roots to hold down the topsoil, much of China’s soil is washing away in the rains. It then becomes difficult to farm, and sandstorms become more common. Over time, these sandstorms create dangerous droughts. It is not uncommon to see yellow dust storms in major Chinese cities these days as a result.

Above and Beyond: Once you have finished reading, write down things that China could do to fix its environmental problems. Show extraordinary effort by illustrating each of your ideas.

Part II: Complete the missing sections of today’s skeleton in the space below.

China’s environmental problems:

Strong economy

Doing damage to the environment

Part III: Complete illustrations in the boxes below. Each box should contain an illustration of a different one of China’s environmental problems. Remember, stick figures are fine, but be sure to fill the entire box with your intelligent illustrations.
