Which of the following has been a negative effect of industrialization in china?
increased literacy rates
sharp reduction in agricultural land
decreased infant mortality rate
increased life expectancy

Sharp reduction in agricultural land has been the negative effect of industrialization in China. This scenario occurs because the development of cities to accommodate high population will give way to more lands that will be used for innovations instead for agriculture/food production. This does not only happen in China but also in other parts of the world where the fast increase in their economic growth is going on a fast rate but there are not enough places to accommodate this specific growth. 

As a result, lands that are supposed to be for agriculture are maximized by city construction which in the long term might lead to societal hunger.

Where's the we need to see the it could be any country!
