 * Unit 6: Country’s Development Analysis **

Development
HDI Rank #81 .777 GDP $6,757 per capita Primary Sector Jobs Farming, mining, logging, fishing, oil drilling. Secondary Sector Jobs Textile weaving, ship-building, microwave and other electronics production, toy assembler, paper manufacturing. Tertiary Sector Jobs Pharmacists, doctors, Teaching, Lawyers, and touring. Raw Materials Oil, Natural Gas, Coal, Uranium, and Iron Consumer Goods Toys, Clothes, Vinyl, Kitchen Cutlery, Bicycles, Desks, Handbags, Batteries, cars, and Televisions. Education Schooling has a high participation rate of 99%. People in China get very good educations. There are a lot of people who can read and write Literacy 90.9% overall can read and write. For males, 95.1% can read and write. For females, 86.5% can read and write. Life Expectancy Total Life Expectancy: 72.5 years Males: 71.13 years Females: 74.82 years Infant Mortality Rate 22.12 deaths/ 1,000 population Natural Increase Rate .606% Crude Birth Rate 13.45 Births/ 1,000 population GDI Rank and the factors .765. Factors include inequality of rights between men and women and pollution. Women are pretty much treated like trash. They are treated like slaves: they are beaten to serious extents, are made to work in certain jobs where they have no choice in the matter, and are made to do whatever the man of the house says. More female babies in China are killed than male babies.

Industry
Types of industry found in the country Types of Industries: Electronics, mining, Textile and clothing, automobiles, railway, and food. Site factors for industry One site factor is that industries need to locate near ports because most of the products that are made are weight gaining. Another site factor would be having people who live near industries in rural areas could work for lower wages. Having an industry near raw materials and natural resources is an important factor. People in rural areas are in need for more money. You need to have an industry that is easy to access.  Situation factors for industry Industries should locate near the Yellow Sea, South China Sea, Bay of Bengal, and the East China Sea to have access to ports. Being near more populated cities would mean having easier access. People and products have an easier route to and from the industry.

Resources
 Types of energy used by the country    Natural gas is not necessarily an important way of using energy. China mostly runs on oil by use of pipelines. The Chinese are developing ways to use alternative power like solar, biomass, and hydroelectric. There may be an assortment of raw materials in China, but there is always a finite amount for each material. China is currently the world's third largest energy producer and the second largest energy consumer. China is the world's largest coal producer accounting for 28% of world coal production and 26% of world coal consumption. China is the third largest consumer of oil and is estimated to have the world's sixth largest proven reserves of oil. Problems associated with energy in the country China has a lot of money now, but also has a problem with their energy usage. Oil is getting more and more expensive each year. There are also less and less amounts of it each year. That is why the Chinese are working on solar, biomass, and hydroelectric power in which all of them have abundant or infinite amounts. Pollution issues Most farms in China are irrigated in the north. Most of the rice that is grown is occurring in the south. Streams nearby thee farms are getting polluted with pesticides, herbicides, and raw sewage. Even though water can be treated to kill germs and destroy solid material, other toxic materials can still be present. What your country is doing to stave off po llution The Chinese government is setting up environmental cleaning agencies in major industrial and power plants. This is affordable and will also let the Chinese to use energy more efficiently. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 15)"> <span style="color: rgb(255, 15, 0)">China is doing average this day and age. It is the third largest energy user. It has a high pollution rate. Event though there are a lot of negatives to China's success, there are still a lot of positives like: most products are made in China, most people in China are well educated, and there a lot of people that are willing to work for lower wages in China. The Chinese are still working on the environmental cleaning agencies. The Chinese promise that the agencies will prove that the pollution rate can go down. There are a lot of people who can read and write. Those skills plus the intelligence of the people will have positive effects for the near future.

In the next 50 years, I believe China will stay at the top. The Chinese are not stupid. They will find a way to make alternative fuels that are even safer for the environment. The will also figure out a way to consume less energy. China will not; however, be able to restore the amounts of natural resources that they had before. Since China is so big, it will still have to use a lot of natural resources. China will still be the leading supplier of goods going into other countries. China will be in good shape in the future.

<span style="color: rgb(16, 177, 75)">**China vs. Afghanistan**

One difference between China and Afghanistan is their HDI levels. Afghanistan is not even ranked. <span style="color: rgb(16, 177, 75)"> China has a great education program in contrast to Afghanistan which has a poor education program. This is because of lack of funds. Afghanistan has an infant mortality rate of 157.43/1000 live births. China has an infant mortality rate of 22.12 deaths/1000 live births. This is a significant difference. To compare Afghanistan to China is somewhat difficult because both countries produce different things, their people are different, and one(China) is in a lot better shape of being a successful country in the future. But, there are a couple things to compare like: Both countries produce natural gas, petroleum, and copper, they both have unequal rights for women, and pollution problems.


 * China vs. Ethiopia**

One major difference between China and Ethiopia would be literacy rate. While China has a literacy rate of 90.9%, Ethiopia has a rate of 42.7%. However, Ethiopia has the same rules for rights of women. Ethiopia is one big mess compared to China. In Ethiopia, the infant mortality rate is 91.92 deaths/1000 live births. In China, the rate is 22.12 deaths/1000 live births. Life expectancy in Ethiopia is 48.06 years averaged between men and women. China has a life expectancy rate of 72.5 years averaged between men and women. That is a huge difference. Ethiopia has a birth rate of 37.39 births/1000 people. China has a birth rate of 13.45 births/1000 people. This is due to laws in China preventing people from having more than 2 babies.


 * China vs. Israel**

A difference between China and Israel is that Israel has a GDP of $28,800 and China has a GDP of $6,757 per capita. To compare to Isael, China has a life expectancy rate of 72.5 years averaged between males and females. Israel has a life expectancy of 79.95 years averaged between males and females. They are really close. Israel has an abundant amount of natural resources and raw materials like China does. Their crude birth rates and education benefits are really close too. China has a birth rate of 13.45 births/1000 people and Israel has a birth rate of 17.71 births/ 1000 people. Israel has a great education program that requires children to attend school until age 16. China follows something similar to that. Israel and China both have colleges that are optional to attend.
