Maybe it's not so much growth vs degrowth as short-term vs long-term? A country like China that's pursuing a very aggressive short-term growth policy is obviously endangering some aspects of their future with pollution, corruption, etc.
I don't have a problem with pursuing growth, so much as focusing on the next few years (or the next election) to the exclusion of anything else.
