China and Development
OneChildPolicy
Why ?
1979 - China's leaders afraid of enourmous pop. growth
Only allowed to have one child or pay fines and have disadvantages
Exceptions
If the two parents do not have siblings
If the first child is a girl (Rural areas only)
If it is an Ethnic minority
Problems
Parents, especially in rural areas, do not want to have a girl as she will marry and go away.
So the number of girls born is going down. In 2007, there were 120 boys born for 100 girls
So millions of men will not be able to find wives
People may have to support several older people, and this could be difficult
3 Gorges Dam
Why?
China mainly depending on coal for Energy
Need a sustainable and clean source of energy
Help prevent floods on the Yangtze River
1954 - Flood killed 33 000 people
Ships can go further up on the Yangtze River, carrying cargo
More industry for Chongqing
Provides 2% of China's energy
Largest Dam in the world
2 km in length
Cost $22.5 billion
Problems
Impact on local people
More than 1.20 million people moved for building the dam
They were given money but they said it was not enough
Drowned 2 empty cities, 116 towns and lots of villages
Environnment
Stops fish and other river animals from moving freely
Yangtze River dolphin is now extinct
Poisonous level of sewage and factory waste build up
Harm wildlife and humans
Silt builds up in the reservoir and makes it less and less effective
At dry times of the year, the river level on the other side falls very low
Creates earthquakes and landslides
If the damn breaks, there will be a catastrophe
Environnement
Problems
Largely depending on coal - 70% of energy needs
But coal is a limited resource and pollutes the air
So China build more sources of sustainable energy
Wind farms
Solar panels
Dams
Nuclear power stations
Desertification
The farmland is turning into desert
Overgrazing
Chopping trees down
Soil too intensively farmed
So the Chinese are planting a belt of trees and shrubs called the green great wall
They are also building canals to transport water from the Yangtze River to water the dry North
Building sewage plants
Trap the CO2 from factories
