This chapter maps the relationship between the emergence of environmental problems and China’s modernisation. It also discusses the responses of various parties — the state, transnational and national businesses, society — to these issues. It suggests that the importance of the emergence of environmental issues should be understood in the light of their relationship to society, taking into account the potency of social dynamics, especially the interaction between global capitalism and domestic power relations, the development of civil participation, social class differentiation, as well as consumer culture and lifestyles, and of the social logic regarding the relationship between development and the environment.
