In fact, since the 1980s, China has been importing foreign garbage, which can make up for the lack of raw materials for some of our production. Of course, the import of these foreign garbage is not the filthy household garbage as we imagined, but contains a variety of developed countries out of the electronic products, clothing, waste paper, rubber and other aspects of the garbage. 90's, the market a lot of foreign brands of old electrical appliances is through the garbage imported way to China.
In layman's terms, since China's reform and opening up, the country's demand for all kinds of increased, had to import foreign garbage to supplement, such behavior, the development of China's society has a role in promoting, of course, the process certainly also caused some environmental problems, but still the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. So the government is in favor of foreign garbage imports, only to strengthen the supervision and regulation.
And this year, China formally announced its refusal to import foreign garbage, triggering a shock in the world, because with China's continuous development, the volume of China's imported garbage has been enough to affect the world, once China refused to import foreign garbage, there will be a lot of countries that can not deal with the remaining foreign garbage. The reason why China refused is simple, because after years of development, every aspect of our society has made great strides forward, and does not need too much foreign garbage. Another important reason is that the garbage is polluting the environment, and we were willing to sacrifice the environment for development, but now that we're stronger, we're gradually abandoning this model of development.
