Think Again: Green China

WRITE a blog post in which you first introduce and summarize the article and then explain the larger significance of the information the article covers. Try to relate what the article discusses to the history we've learned – essentially try to create a thesis about why the article matters.

The article "Think Again: Green China" discussed how China is doing with environmental problems. There has been disagreement over this over the last few years. Because China is very advanced technologically, China has been fairly successful with the green aspect, such as using renewable energy. Regardless of China's impressive technology, it is still "a pure environmental villain," as China emits more greenhouse gases than any other country. The article is somewhat inconclusive in that it does not say whether China is a good model for other countries. Although China works hard to advance environmental technology, it still is the most damaging country in the world. This article is significant because it talks about what countries are doing to better the world. The article discusses issues and attempts to solutions of these issues. The article talks about the United States and China, and how they are both doing in relationship to each other.

The most prominent issue in this article should be China and what they could do better to improve the environment situation in the world. However, the article instead discusses how China compares to the United States. The whole article was about the competition between the two countries. It says that America should work to keep their "competitive edge in the global marketplace," and even talks about onside being "ahead" of the other. This is similar to any point in time. Competing with other countries is necessary because having advancements in ideas, goods, and money give a basis of trade with other countries. In order to get what you do not have, countries must give what they have that others lack. During the French Revolution, France was a step ahead of the rest of the world with its political ideas. Because of its competition with other countries, when France shared their ideas with other countries they received new advancements for themselves.
