 * Human Rights- Freedom of speech**

They have a constitution that was made in 1982 that guarantees the right to free speech, but they often arrest people who insult the government. Certain events that have happened have been blocked out by the government when it comes to the internet and newspaper. There are also some words that the government finds offensive, and if people say them, they can get arrested. They have censored the fact that Tibet and Taiwan got their independence, and they have blocked pornography on the internet. They have also blocked things relating to food safety, the news, corruption, police brutality, and many other things. So, while they claim that there is a freedom of speech in China, they don't really follow by it, and censor a lot of things that people should have the right to see.


 * Global Interdependence- Economic Relationships**

The United States buys a lot of things from China, and China pays a lot of the US's debts off. China's trade with Japan is growing. Their exports bring in about $118.4 billion and imports bring in around $92.2 billion. The resulting buildup of China's dollar reserves threatens growth and stability in the U.S. economy. Another concern is if the United States can continue to rely on China to buy U.S. debt as U.S. deficits grow. In late 2007 China overtook Japan to become Australia’s largest trading partner, and in 2009 became Australia's largest export market.

Wen is head of a Nation Leadership to take down climate change. “We are of the view that to develop a green economy is probably another area in the economy as we meet the international financial crisis,” Wen said. Wen Jiabao inspected the water pollution in the Songhuajiang River in Harbin. He confirmed that the work done to supply safe public water was a success. He also noted that the government is responsible for the health and safety of the people.
 * Environment- Air and water pollution**


 * Tolerance of diversity- acceptance and treatment of other groups**

There isn't much acceptance in China, differences are often repressed. In rural areas, most don't know any differently, and they don't know of any other religions. They also believe that all Americans have blonde hair and blue eyes, but since there's a lack of connection to the outside world, they don't know any different. In the capital of the country, there is a lot of diversity, though. Chinese don't generally understand the concept of bisexuality or homosexuality, so if they find someone that is attracted to the same gender as them, Chinese people would call them a disgrace and treat them as such.


 * What efforts have you taken to interact with China?**

He is the main face of China, and he's more open to answering questions and being more open in general with the public when it comes to the government. He has even gone as far as to do a live question-and-answer meeting for the people of China. He is more considered a "man of his people" than the leader Hu Jintao. He helped overlook all of the economic issues, and solve them. "Wen has shifted focus from China’s ‘economic growth at all costs’ goal to focusing on more social issues like the growing wealth disparity, rural poverty, public health, drug addiction, public education, environmental destruction, and even openly tackling AIDS as a major (and previously not talked about) problem for the country."

Wen is one to go in front of the public and answer any questions that people have. He's more vocal and more willing to better China, making it more open, rather than having the completely strict communist government that they would have without him. He goes to all sorts of countries, nearly going to every single one, that way he can get ideas for his country, and get some good trade deals. He makes the government less transparent, meaning that he would expose part of the government if asked to, and he's less likely to hide things from the people. He has also increased trade and exports.
 * What success did you have in promoting a positive relationship with China?**


 * Discuss the intent your group has in promoting the progress of China.**

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said that "China will continue to grow and become an economically developed, democratic, just, civilized and peace-heralding country." Wen Jiabao said his government has scored initial success in bringing down inflation, and told banks to give more to small firms and tolerate high levels of bad debt from them. Wen for the past few years has been trying to help China progress in economic relations with other countries.


 * What impact will China have on the history of the next 50 years of world history?**

China will show significant growth in the economy, because they already produce and export so many goods. It will only get better and countries like the United States will continue to buy from them. Also the education in China is continually growing. Children go to school for a longer period of time during holidays and Summer. With more people having a better educztion in China, other countries will have to compete them for jobs.
