Types of energy used by the country (China is currently the world's third largest energy producer and the second largest energy consumer. China accounted for 10% of world energy use and is projected by 2025 to account for 15% of global energy use. China is the world's largest coal producer accounting for 28% of world coal production and 26% of world coal consumption. China is the third largest consumer of oil and is estimated to have the world's sixth largest proven reserves of oil. China has roughly 9.4% of the worlds installed electricity generation capacity and over the next three decades is predicted to be responsible for up to 25% of the increase in global energy generation.) Problems associated with energy in the country (The biggest problem is the production of electricity in china because the world burns coal to produce electricity, the burning of this coal throws sulfide ions into the air. Which pollutes the air but also causes acid rain which is harmful to everything that it touches. ) Pollution issues  (Pollution in China has gotten so bad that there is a grey cloud in the skies all day. Pollution has made cancer China’s leading cause of death. Nearly 500 million people lack access to safe drinking water, most of this is because of the farmers in the north and all of the things that they put in the soil drains into the water and is carried throughout the country ) What your country is doing to stave off pollution (The gov. is starting to set up agencies that will clean up industrial pollution) There are both pros and cons to what China is today. On the pro side of things is that they are the biggest industrial power in the world. Second is that there intelligence that they have in the country all of there minds there could figure out a way to solve there pollution problem. Which brings me to the cons of chin the biggest is there huge problem with the pollution going on in there country. But as I said with tht much brain power there are sure to figure out a way to help the pollution problem. 50 years in the future China I think well be much cleaner. Because of the Olympics China is in the spot light of the world and everyone saw there problem so the forced China to imply some major restrictions. So that in the 50 yrs the air and water is much cleaner. Also because what goes up must come down China kept going up and it’s industrial production came down a bit. Also that they will be leading the way in alternative fuels, because of all of the people living over they need something else besides oil. China vs. Mexico Well Mexico is actually a better place to live for a few reasons. One is that the air there is not toxic and that you won’t get cancer just from breathing. Second is that there HDI is also a Litter bit higher then in China. Lastly if you are a women in Mexico your life is a lot better then if you lived in China. China vs. Italy Italy is a much better place to live then China, Industry is under control and people don’t have to work to death to make a decent wage. Also Italy has good air quality, with little to no water pollution. Also there population is under control unlike in China were the population is over 1 billion, Italy has hit a increase rate of 0-1 were there population stays the same year to year. China vs. Ethiopia China is this time a better place to live then in Ethiopia. Were as in China there is some places where the water is clean enough to drink but in Ethiopia there is no place to get safe drinking water unless you buy it. Second is that there is at least industry in China but in Ethiopia there is no industry and if so the pay is worse then in China. The only thing that Ethiopia has over China is that there pollution is under control were China is not.

Site factors for industry in China are mostly around the cost of the country. This is because china’s products are mostly weight gaining so they will need to b near the port, which will have ships to take the products by ship to other countries in the world. Second is that all of china’s materials that help make there products come in from other countries by way o ship, so the factories are located near the ports where the ships dock so it is not that expensive to get the products to the factory or to the rest of the world.
