Like stated China has the man power to do just about anything quickly even working on extremely large projects could be a breeze for china. Take the Three Gorges Dam; it would have taken many other countries more than 30 years while china completed
Over a Million People Displaced The dam's 410-mile-long (660-kilometer-long) reservoir will flood about 244 square miles (632 square kilometers) of land—including well over a thousand towns and villages. Some 1.3 million people (another disputed number) have been or will be relocated. The Three Gorges plan includes compensation for the dispossessed, such as payments and new homes and jobs. But these efforts have been plagued by widespread local corruption and complaints that funds aren't reaching the intended recipients.

This is less than the Philippines because they had some protection from levees on the Sacramento River however they did fail, due to the already saturated land. However it reduced the amount of water but also they had a bit of warning and many people got evacuated in time.
I never knew how much of an impact this immigration stage had on America itself today. In conclusion, The Chinese immigration was huge to America. The Chinese contributed to the production and growth to the industrial era of America. They had a struggle to get themselves fit in, but in the end it was worth it for many reasons. The California Gold Rush was the ticket for the Chinese to even come over here and get a better life and the Chinamen who went through the hardship came out with the best results.
There were many factors in the cause of the flooding, these include: torrential rain, 500mm of rain fell in a few short hours, remnants of Hurricane Alex; deforestation in the valleys; the construction of small bridges across the river (trapping material behind them during the floods, creating small dams); and so on. Many people were affected by the flood which was described as a freak weather event. The floods caused the loss and destruction of property, a social impact.

This causes thousands of people to become homeless and displaced. Also, not every household had flood insurance, so then FEMA stepped in to assist these people.

Insurance companies were pounded after the storm with many insurance claims due to all the flooding and wind damage.

According to many economists, continuous economic growth leads to greater prosperity for everyone, but because so many countries are trying to achieve the same exact thing, competition is harsh. These are some positive and negative perspectives that are caused by international trade. As you can see, the relationship between the three sources is that they are all based on trade. All around the world, different countries import and export goods to each other so they can benefit themselves with economic growth.
Silver Trade DBQ The abundance of silver in Europe and the Americas had a great impact on the Chinese economy as the demand for silver by the Japanese and Chinese greatly increased to match the supply during the mid-sixteenth to the early eighteenth centuries. Based on the Documents, Spain had much to gain economically by selling their abundance of silver to the Ming Chinese and Japanese while the Chinese and Japanese economies suffered due to the deflation of silver in their own regions. These fast economic changes caused drastic change socially by changing the standard of living as well as the mindsets of the people toward the silver trade, such as the issue of slavery, reflecting on their government. All the while other European countries such as Britain and the Portuguese were able to take advantage of the supply and demand of silver to make money as middlemen. The Spanish were able to mine the silver with some economic benefit quickly turning into negative inflation, and the British were able to buy from the Spanish and Japanese and sell to the Chinese as middlemen.
