[General] can we say "with the development of..."

[caronmi]

It is often seen in Chinese people's compositions "with the development of (technology etc.)" . One of my teachers once said that it was improper to use like this. Is it Chinglish? If yes, please tell me the correct usage.
THX in advance

I don't see anything wrong/improper with the phrase, it's how you use it in a sentence that matters. However, certain phrases in English are often redundant and cliched e.g.

as a matter of fact
as you are aware
be that as it may

I agree- it's fine as a phrase, but could you give an example or two because it does depend how it's used.

It would be better with "...leading more comfortable lives..."
