Nowadays many countries and people are amazed by the great achievements China has made in its modernization development. While China is enjoying the economic growth, there is another voice saying that China’s modernization development has damaged many things such as the environment and the ecology. In my opinion, pros and cons of China’s modernization development are as follows.
Firstly, the most obvious pro of China modernization development is the increase of residents’ income and the growth in the living standards. Secondly, new and better public infrastructure and a broader social security system are offered. All these are beneficial to people’s life. Most importantly, we have made great progress in high technology such as agricultural mechanization, industrial automation and communication technology. Finally, the rapid growth of China’s economy directly leads to improvement of its international status.
However, the cons of China’s modernization development seem to be more apparent than its pros. The first problem of China’s modernization development is its threat to the environment and the ecological
balance. As a result of the over development and the waste of resources, more and more pollutants are generated and eventually the whole ecological chain is destructed. Secondly, with the acceleration of urbanization throughout China, more and more people are flooding into the big cities. So now the big cities are confronted with increasingly serious congested transportation and mountains of rubbish. These problems have posed a great threat to people’s life. Thirdly, in the process of the modernization, a widening gap between the rich and the poor, the urban area and the rural area, and the coastal area and the inland area emerged. All these are caused by the uneven allocation of resources and the unfair social distribution. Last but not least, the worst aspect of China’s modernization development is its damage to China’s traditional culture and value. Driven by the short-term economic profit, people attach such an importance to the accumulation of wealth that the relation between people tends to be cold. Some people are even indulged in the material desires to such an extent that traditional morality is corrupted and replaced by their money worship.
In conclusion, China’s modernization development has brought about both pros and cons. What we should do is to make it a blessing as possible as we can to benefit the people, the country and the world. To accomplish the goal, we have to handle the relationship between the speed of development and the development itself, the stability and the development, and efficiency and fairness properly. Only in this way, can China’s economy get a stable, sound and sustainable development.
