1.0 Introduction Within this report, we will discuss the third article titled “Can China Clean Up Fast Enough?” as well as the implications on two main theories, which are the environmental theory and the social performance theory. China has been identified as the world's worst polluter as it consumes 40-45% of the world's coal, copper, steel, nickel, aluminum and zinc due to the scale and speed of Chinese development (The Economist, 2013). China's consumption pattern to support the development of industries has had a very serious impact on air pollution in China, especially in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei which have always been the most air polluted region in China (Greenpeace East Asia , 2014). The Violation of Corporate Social Responsibility What is identified in this case is that the country's rapid growth in coal consumption was driven by extensive industrial expansion, which in turn increased pressure on the environment and working conditions. public health. Furthermore, the government fails to respond to the activists' protest by imprisoning anyone who expresses their opinion against the government's industrialization policies. Furthermore, the negative impact of China's rapid industrialization is not only felt by the local population, but also impacts globally, causing global warming. Finally, China simply cannot afford for air pollution to continue to weigh so heavily and is taking steps to control emissions by addressing deteriorating atmospheric conditions through various means, such as changing its fundamental development pattern and starting with a significant reduction in coal consumption which depends on the support of Western countries since it is in everyone's interest for China to reduce its global emissions (Greenpeac...... half of the document ......ed 20 June 14].
