Today in class we watched a video. The video was about the
People’s Republic of China. Their name however is actually false. The country of China is not a republic. The “People”
control NOTHING. Their last “president” Hu Jintao recently ended his term. DO
you think the people picked their next “president”? Nope. A select group of the
Elite in China went into a room, and decided which person would be best to
become president. These people are usually the richest, most powerful and
influential people in China. That is how there ruler was chosen. Also, the
video we were shown talked about how the Chinese have a very large population
of poor people. Some of these workers make only 1 – 5$ a day. They barely survive.
The reason why these people, even take this horrible payment is because China
has over 1 billion people in their country. If one worker decides to not work,
or to refuse to do something, they could simply hire someone else. With a 1
billion + work force, they could certainly find someone else to hire. I don’t
know what to think about this system. IS this a good way to live???? Morally I
don’t think this is right but otherwise I don’t know what to think. We talked
about a lot of different Chinese economic differences. There work force Is SO
much different than ours. Now , I think I have a better grasp on why China is
becoming a stronger force than America.
In summary, we talked about the Chinese economy and what
fuels it’s growth. That is what today’s class period was spent on.
