T
he excess of power and the weak
economic investment in many
countries have been serious
problems lately. We can take China
as an example, which is one of the
biggest countries in the world, with
a huge population. China produces
clothes, electronics and furniture that
are dispersed around the world. On the
other hand, there are several countries
that have shallow economic funds,
and they also don’t know how to invest
them. This has been a serious problem.
It comes because the governors and
representatives spend the money on
unnecessary things, such as building
luxury houses for the governors and
their family, or buying unnecessary
stuff. So, after a long period of wasting
of the economic funds, they usually go
into bankruptcy. Then, the wealthiest
countries come to them and take
advantage of the poor countries. They
bring their own workers to help them,
but in the end the beneficiary is the
country that brings the help.

O
ne of the clearest examples is
a plan that China had created,
which consists of helping other
countries in different ways, like providing
money to them, building new companies
that are going to provide new jobs and are
going to be a good source of money. China
also buys stuff that belongs to different
countries (wood, animal merchandise,
natural resources, etc). This is a
spectacular idea because China is helping
other countries to grow up and get rid of
their poor status.
A
nother problem is the
destruction and deforestation
that this situation can cause
to the countries. So, according to the
second paragraph, it says, “China is
turning to foreign countries for raw
materials. It is drilling for oil and gas
in Ethiopia and Nigeria. It is mining
for copper in Zambia. China also buys
nearly half of the wood from Brazil’s
rainforest.”

to receive something from them. But the
question is, What is China going to do as
result of the help that it brings to Africa
and Asia? Who knows?
