| Summary / Abstract (Note) | An annual survey quoted by China Daily on 24 January 2014 said that more than 30 percent of young Chinese counted environment as a factor while choosing their study destination- up nearly 10 percent than a year ago. That could be symbolic of environmental awareness or panic, or simply helplessness at the state of environment in China. However, China need to grow fast requires it to produce cheap coal energy the primary reason causing all sorts of environmental problem by polluting air- in constantly growing amount. Thus, even as China emerge as a top renewable energy investor and producer while ramping up the efforts to lessen dependence on coal, the quest to ensure reliable energy security is not going to be easy. These constraints agencies seem to have even the Chinese government's genuine effort regarding environment being doubted. |
