Angel Hsu at TED2018  (transcript)
How China is (and isn't) fighting pollution and climate change
Summary
All countries now have to fight pollution and climate change for our earth. This is no time to say that other countries should do and your own country does something to reduce.

China is always said that China is the world’s biggest polluter, however, China is a big country and has 1.3 billion people, even if each person only releases a little, it becomes the biggest number and China depends on coal energy is the reason that China is the world’s biggest polluter.

However, China’s government starts to tackle the pollution problems because Chinese people were becoming aware of its human health effects, the government was keeping it secret, though.
The government has been making an enormous investment to clean air and to use renewable energy like hydrogen, wind and solar.

Due to releasing big pollution, reducing hasn't still caught up, though, you must make sure having an effect now.
