4. Population in E/SE Asia China China is a greatly overpopulated country. The Chinese government has to quickly alter its old population controlling policies because it is contributing to the countries economic and social life, and if it continues, China could face a huge crisis in the future. China has enforced the One Child Policy which allows rural families to have two children and urban families to have one child. They hope to keep the population controlled with this plan.

5. Religion in E/SE Asia Confucianism- Located in China and they believe in ancestry. Buddhism- Located in Japan and they believe in the 4 Noble Truths. Shinto- Also located in China and they believe in spirits and animals. Religious SimilarityReligious Difference They were all created around 500 BC.

6. Communism in E/SE Asia 191719491953 Soviet Union comes to the aid of China after the Chinese Civil War and takes over, making China communist. Korean War ended and North Korea was under control of communist China. Communist leaders create Soviet Union and Communist begins. The people of communist countries have no freedoms. The government controls everything in the country. The economy is also terrible because of communism. Communism Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYTwQ3hqMdI

8. Conclusion-Problems Economic- The economy of the nations is in a very poor condition because there is no infrastructure. Without infrastructure, a country can’t trade or develop economically. Political- The government will continue to control everything through communism and the problems will continue to stay the same, if not increase. The leaders of these nations are not helping the progress of the country in any possible way. Social- None of the people of these countries have freedoms. Their lives are controlled completely by the government and because of this, these people have no way of how to stabilize their lives on their own. The government uses up all the resources that the country has to offer so the people have a shortage of resources for their survival.

9. Conclusion- Solutions Economic- I think that the only solution to the lack of infrastructure would be to change the form of government so that the new government can take the initiative to better the economy by building infrastructure. Political- The communist government puts the country in a horrible condition. To get rid of this government and all the problems, I think there needs to be an election so that the new government is a democracy and one who is looking for the prosperity of the country. Social- This problem also would be solved with the change of government. The people live under the communist leaders and that is why their lives are so poor and they don’t have the resources that are necessary available. The new government would not abuse the resources that the country has to offer and look to help the lives of people in need.
