Quiz 2

The article is about China changing the balance of power in the world by expanding the military. They created missiles that can be launched from a truck and reach the north-wester US . The system is called a Transporter-Erector-Launcher, or TEL. The missile that the TEL is carring is called a Dongfeng-31 , the name means East Wind.  They also have a Navy and Air force that could operate well beyond the borders. Though this worries the US because they are already in conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan and the last thing America needs is to be suck into a problem with China over Taiwan.


China was defeat by the British forces and the Opium war destroyed China. China had recovering drug addicts, strippers, and lazy people who didn't want to work because they wanted more of the drug.Britain  still hold the power of Chinas trade and Society. After a while of fighting, China tried to ban opium from china but the British still had control over them and embarrassed them by forcing China to legalizing the import of opium.


Today China seems to be in a better condition than they were then. They still have Opium legalized but they don't abuse it like they did then. Which eliminated all the drug dealers, drug addicts, strippers and all of the aggression there was in order to get Opium. Now that it's not used as much China can focus on building themselves back up as they are doing now. This connects to the article because china advanced making that missile and if people were still abusing Opium like they were then, then the missile would have probably not even been created. People would have been getting high off of Opium.
