China’s industrial output is expanding, with goods produced both for export and in the hope of building domestic demand. The highest growth in production is clustered around three key consumer goods: PCs, cell phones and cars, all three of which have a detrimental impact on the environment. The next fastest-growing commodity is cigarettes, the negative impact of which will be felt on the nation’s health and health services in the decades to come. China’s car production in 2007 was the third greatest in the world, in part to meet the demand for the passenger vehicles that are clogging China’s roads.
