According the article, “Japan, China discuss cooperation to
fight air pollution,” written by Atsushi Okudera, stated that China air
pollution gotten so bad that Japan is willing to help China get rid of their
air pollution. The Division directors representing the environment, foreign and
industry ministries of Japan and the Ministry of Environmental Protection of
China attended the two-hour talks. A source who attended the meeting quoted
Japanese representatives is concerned about China’s air pollution crossing
borders to other countries and affects them. China was also told that Japan is
willing to offer their air monitoring, pollutant identification and related
environmental technology, which it acquired through its past efforts to fight
pollution in Japan, for use in China. Tokyo’s representative also argued about
that Japanese technology such as electron microscopes and other devices to
identify pollutants, along with its pollution-simulation technology, would be
instrumental in fighting PM 2.5. Tokyo also hoped to open up new business opportunities
for Japanese companies that specialize in air pollution mitigation technology.
This article states that China’s air pollution just became
another country problem and that country is Japan. China’s air pollution is so
bad to the point where Japan is willing to help China get rid of their air
pollution before it crosses borders to other countries. The only problem this
article didn’t state is that what kinds of methods are being used to get rid of
China’s air pollution. The article only stated that Japan is willing to help
China by letting China use Japan’s technology to get rid of air pollution.
