Form 2 Economic activity and social inequality project

Hi everyone,

Here are the instructions for the project that you must complete for the economic activity and social inequality topic.

Your task is to examine China’s role in international trade and the effect that it has had upon the country. The questions that you need to answer are as follows:

1.What strategies has China followed in order to improve its economy?

2.How have these changes affected the quality of life for its population?

3.How have these changes affected the environment?

3 sections are therefore needed with a small introduction and conclusion at the end. It should be no longer than 3 sides of paper and you can include diagrams and photographs if you wish.

A very good source of information is National Geographic magazine which is kept in the library. It is all about China!

Here are some websites to help you:
