There's something called an environmental Kuznets curve that suggests that a population will sacrifice environmental health to industrial degradation in favor of per capita income up to a point, after which they are affluent enough to care, and after this environmental health improves. China seems to be at the inflection point.

They were at the inflection point back in 2008. They've been full tilt towards the improvement side of the curve for nearly two decades.
