Wow...this E forum is getting..hot (lol). Happy to see that.
Now this is a test of pupils at 10th class (Hanoi Amsterdam high school), she asked me and I answered but I'm not sure whether it was completed or not. Could you help me? Thanks :)
Find and correct mistakes:
1. There is no denying that China now plays a large role in the region and the world than ever before.
2. The interaction between China’s citizens and that of other countries is more intense. China’s
3. manufacturing exports – and, increasingly, its citizens’ demands for imports – bulk larger in the global
4. economy. China’s military is acquiring with unprecedented new capabilities. This is all the more
5. remarkable because it happened so rapidly. China has quadrupled its GDP since 1978, with real
6. GDP growth averaging around 9% per year from 1978 and 1995. Today, its GDP stands at more
7. than $ 1.1 trillion. China’s foreign trade grew at about 13% per year for the same period, making
8. China today the world’s fourth largest trade nation. In the 1900s, China became the world’s second-
9. largest recipient of foreign direct investments. Its military spending is growing by double-digits. Many
10. argue that China is likely to become the world’s second-largest economy in 2030. Its hefty foreign
11. exchange reserves should provide cushion in any future financial crisis. One has to expect,
12. however, that China’s military power and political reach will increase commensurately.
13. What will this rise of power mean for the United States, and for US – China relations? Some
14. analysts, claiming to be “Realists”, argue that conflict among major powers is, quite simply
15. inevitable. Rising powers, they suggest, will always mount a full-frontal challenge at the dominant
16. power in the system. Nations will always pursue their interests in maximizing their position at the
17. expense of others. International relations are all but impervious to changes. A logic debilitating
18. competition is immutable. With the risk of being expelled from the Realists’ club, I beg to disagree.
19. For one thing, we are at a moment of unprecedenting American strength. American strength reinforces, and works in tandem with, the physical and moral muscle of the network of bilateral
20. alliances, which we have built in Asia. The United States and its allies, who are wealthy, strong, and
21. share interests and values, would resist any effort to overturn the very international order has made possible their wealth and growth.
