Policy about environmental protection

From the video, an inconvenient truth, global warming is a serious problem which may threaten the survival of our next generation. Since I am from Chinese, there are some rules made by the government to reduce the environmental pollution.
It is known as China is the center of world manufacturing industry which means that its strong economic power is on the base of high pollution cost. The government begins to worry about the negative effect on its economy from environmental problems, so a series of policies have been made to limit some industries’ behavior, like heavy air polluted industry. In 1983, Chinese government passed marine environment protection law. In 1989, Chinese government has produced the environment protection law, covered with water, air and land, and forbidden any activities engaged into environmental pollution. These laws are all aimed to prevent the environment pollution. From 2000, Chinese government introduced another critical word, “green GDP”, which means that government will focus on the results of the green GDP to judge local governors’’ job (normal GDP minus the cost of environment pollution during the current year)

Even though Chinese government has always tried to make some effort to reduce the environment pollution in water, air and land, its effort seems to be a bit weaker since the high speed of Chinese economic development. Chinese government has signed the Kyotol protocol to reduce emission of green-house gas from domestic factories. However, this will hurt the interests of local factories due to the high cost spent in the waste gas treatment. That’s why American refused to sign the contract.
Though there is a group of people whose interest may lose some, in general this is a good thing, air condition is critical to local citizens. If Chinese government can finally reach the goal of reducing emissions from heavy industry, it can improve air quality greatly. For example, in order to host Olympic Games, Beijing decided to remove all the polluted factories from the city. This affected Beijing’s GDP in the current year, but it did improve the air quality and it was welcomed by local citizens. From this example, it is surely that if Chinese can make a effort to reduce global warming, the overall benefits are greater than the loss during short period.
