In social studies today we did our presentations on “results of growth” and “Hong Kong and Macau”. Our classmates went to the front of the room and taught us about those subjects. We also talked about the benefits of having a factory in China.
-pay workers less
-sell products in both China and the U.S.A
The “results of growth” group taught us how polluted China will become with all the factories there. Because of that, lung disease is the #1 killer in China. Chinese power comes from burning coal, and the extra dust pollutes the air. The “Hong Kong and Macau” group told us how both cities were once controlled by European countries and both cities have a “one country, two systems pledge to allow capitalism to exist.
