The MIC that I will be talking about is China. China’s secondary sector has grown lots and as a result it there’s lots of pollution from the coal power stations. There are 750,000 deaths due to air and water pollution which is bad. China’s secondary sector has grown because it is located really close to Europe who buy lots of the stuff that they make. Also China trains 600,000 new engineers and 90% of the people are now literate and it has new energy and lots of natural resources. These raw materials mean that the secondary sector can easily be supplied without large transporting costs. Workers are only paid 40p an hour and there is 50% of the population unemployed.
Have they explained?Have they talked about the CAUSES?
Have they used data
appropriately? Is it
correct?
