Past research on energy and environmental issues in China has generally focused on energy and environmental efficiencies with no models having included the public health associations or the role of the media. Therefore, to fill this research gap, this paper used a modified Undesirable Dynamic Network model to analyze the efficiency of China's energy, environment, health and media communications, from which it was found that the urban production efficiency stage was better than the health treatment stage, and that the energy efficiencies across the Chinese regions varied significantly, with only Beijing, Guangzhou, Lhasa and Nanning being found to have high efficiencies. Large urban gaps and low efficiencies were found for health expenditure, with the best performances being found in Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Haikou, Hefei, Nanning, and Urumqi. The regions with the best media communication efficiencies were Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Haikou, Hefei, Lhasa, Nanning and Urumqi, and the cities with the best respiratory disease efficiencies were Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Haikou, Lhasa, Nanning, Wuhan, Urumqi, Xian, and Yinchuan. Overall, significant efficiency improvements were needed in health expenditure and in particular in respiratory diseases as there were major differences across the country.
过去关于中国能源和环境问题的研究通常集中在能源和环境效率上，没有模型包括公共卫生关联或媒体的作用。因此，为了填补这一研究空白，本文使用改进的不良动态网络模型来分析中国能源、环境、健康和媒体传播的效率，从中发现城市生产效率阶段优于健康治疗阶段，而且中国各地区的能源效率差异显著，只有北京、广州、拉萨和南宁被发现具有高效率。卫生支出的城市差距较大且效率较低，福州、广州、海口、合肥、南宁和乌鲁木齐的表现最好。媒体传播效率最好的地区是福州、广州、海口、合肥、拉萨、南宁和乌鲁木齐，呼吸道疾病效率最好的城市是福州、广州、海口、拉萨、南宁、武汉、乌鲁木齐、西安和银川。总的来说，卫生支出特别是呼吸道疾病方面需要显著提高效率，因为全国各地存在重大差异。
