China is the biggest producer, consumer and importer of coal and carbon dioxide emissions in the world now. The usage of energy has been increasing because of domestic demand, and exports have also been increasing, such as large shipping. Those problems also have been causing environmental problems such as air pollution and water pollution. China has increasingly produced CO2 emissions in millions of tons since 1978 to 2009. I will talk about how China reforms their economic and triggered by the liberal and progressive policies from 1978, and how China became an important country as an economic power to now. When the economy grew rapidly, more enterprises started to invest and trade the goods. Domestic demands and exports increased. China should implement a carbon tax to help reduce to CO2 production, and show other countries success to implement carbon tax to reduce the CO2 emission.
