Human Rights...
 * China’s people do not have very good rights.
 * Chinese government often uses the subversion of state power and the protection of state secret clause to imprison those who are critical of the government.
 * China still tries to stick with the traditional ways while Japan is ever evolving.
 * Japan thinks that China uses medieval ways when controlling the people.

Environment- Air and Water Pollution...
 * China has a very bad air pollution in most places where there is a large population of people.
 * The water is not clean, and most people do not have access to good water
 * Very little water purification plants
 * The Smog is really bad but the people keep buying cars and using them rather then trying to clean it up.

What success you have had on promoting a positive relationship with China?... We feel that we have had great success in the past decade. Since 2006, we feel as though we have made great progress with the Peoples Republic of China (Work). We know that there still is a few bumps in the road, but we feel as though our relationship with china is progressing very well for what has occurred in the past, such as things like the Opium Wars. China has not had very warm feelings towards us since that, and we think that they have all the rights to feel that way, but our people seem to fell the same way. Things are actually working out pretty well maybe even better than we thought, and we think that it is because of our regular exchanges since 2007 (Working).

What Impact will china have on the next 50 years?... We think that in the next 50 years China will have the largest trading economy, the most amount of people, and it will be the most polluted country. It seems to be evolving so fast that this would be the only logical thing to happen. With all the added people it is already causing too much pollution for what can be taken care of, the Chinese will just have to start cutting down on things or finding things to do with the trash. Since China already has a very large population for the limited amount of space, the added people that keep being born everyday cannot be a good thing. One plus and minus to the Chinese having a lot of people is it is doing bad things for the financial aid but it is also bringing up the consumption of products. Global Interdependence-
 * Japanese countries are investing in China for local production
 * believes that China is making a large share of global contribution
 * complementary rather than competitive
 * Japan’s strength is high tech which is China’s weakness
 * economies very similar when China passed Japan as number two

 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">very grateful to have China as one of our major imports of food, fuel, and minerals
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">role model for Japan

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What efforts have you taken to interact with China? Many years China has been a role model to us. Similar philosiphies and ideas have influenced us. Even though China and us had some ups and down; we have learned to get passed the past and make amends. For instance, we have a treaty known as the treaty of peace and friendship between Japan and the People’s Republic of China where it shows that we keep our peace and stay allies. Economically, China is a big support for us where we help them out with exports and the imports that we need from them. China’s weaknesses are our strengths which help us and also helps them. It’s not about competition but rather complementary. Even though China passed us as number two economy, it’s not competition between us. Were just grateful to have China and have them be one of our biggest interactions globally.

Discuss the intent your group has in promoting (or working against) the progress of China. First off, we have no intent to work against China but help them. Competition is no longer a factor even though they passed as being number two. We intend to continue importing and exporting between our countries. China helping us and we helping them. China has been a role model even though we are adapting to the modern world and making our own ideas.One of the biggest problems China has is its population and how they handle their environment. As Japan, they could use some advice on how to handle these problems as a start. Questions: USA- How do you feel that your western influence has impacted China? Walmart- Do you feel like you are helping in a good way? If so, how? Taiwan- Why don't you want to be part of China, even though you share so much with it?
