Perspectives+of+China's+Stances

__**Human Rights- Freedom of Speech**__ China's repeated denial of basic human rights, such as freedom of speech, to it's citizens is something that the Japanese people can not agree with and denounce fully. The ability to express one's thoughts and opinions is a fundamental human right in the modern world and as China continues to grow, humans rights must grow with them. The Chinese government has made promises to move forward on issues of human rights and Japan is hopeful that these promises are fulfilled and the relationship between our nations is strengthened through it.

__**Global Interdependence**__ Th rapidly growing economy of China has had a huge impact on the global economy as it contributes greatly to it and has strong economic ties to most industrialized nations, Japan included. China seeks to expand these ties even further and continues to export more into other nations and making them more dependent on them for cheap goods. China strengthens interdependence by importing goods as well, with Japan being one of its strongest trading partners. The economic relationships that China seeks is that of a mutually beneficial sort in hich exports are sent out and imports brought in with both sides gaining revenue, though China would come out with an advantage in revenue because of the import to export ratio.

China is one of the world's worst polluters and notorious in its evasion of environmental regulations and air pollution. The air pollution is of course of huge concern, in fact only one percent of the country's 560 million city inhabitants breathe air deemed safe by the European Union. This is bad for the Chinese people because cancer is caused by air pollution and cancer is now the leading cause of death in 30 citites and 78 counties. However it isn't all of China's fault, a lot of the pollution in China today is generated for producing the cheap products that fill shelves in Europe and in the USA, however the pollution from this is affecting the Chinese people. However with some help, China has been making improvements in environmental protection in the recent years. China is one of the few countries in the world that have been rapidly increasing their forest cover, although only 20 % of China is covered by forests it has some of the largest expanse of forested land in the world. China is also the world's leading investor in renewable energy technologies. They also produce more wind turbines and solar pannels then any other countries in the world The pollution that is produced in the nation is a result of the rapidly grown industry of the country, neither intentional nor welcome, and mirrors the pollution and effects of other countries, such as the U.S, when they industrialized. While the effects of China's industrialization are understandable, it is not something to be ignored and China must take steps to reduce pollution and not sacrifice environment for old industry.

China's treatment of ethnic groups is not a terrible example when put up against the past treatment of other nation, but it is below par for the modern world, especially their treatment of dissidents. The Chinese government arrests and jails those who openly disagree them,this is a fact, and shows very little tolerence towards other ideas or beliefs of ethnic groups within their nation. While they don't display the best record of tolerence/acceptence, they rank fairly high compared to how other nations treated ethnic groups when they were experincing this stage in their development. China's treatment of other groups couples in with their human rights issues and when one is addressed the other will be too and both must be addressed soon.
