Environmental protection is a way to improve living quality of Chinese citizens. On the whole, it doesn't make China a "worse" or "better" country. It's just one correct step forward. In this respect, the rest of your criticism, although true from a Western perspective, is irrelevant and off-topic.

Maybe you should research their human rights abuses ( and also animal rights abuses ) and also their completely illegal building of islands in the South China Sea and their bulling of neighbors like Vietnam and the Philippines.
