China is in a phase of its development where the environment is not the most important thing. Once they're rich enough they'll put resources on fixing that.
This is how every rich country went through industrialization. Not because they were all immoral, but because they were poor.
The good news is that China is somehow doing this in fast forward. Each Chinese year seems to be 3 years in a regular economy, and their enormous push for solar power is (I hope) just one sign of what's to come.
