Made in China? Check the labels in your clothes and on anything you can find on your desk. Where are they made? Write down each country in a different entry.

China now produces the majority of the world's products (especially technology). These were the 3 reasons for their success:

Special economic zones (sez)

• SEZ are areas in a country where international companies can do business without many limitations. For example companies pay little tax, few environment rules.
  
• International companies choose to put their factories in SEZ's, because the labour is cheap.
• You will find light industry in SEZ's around the world (and also in China

SEZ's in China

• located on the coast (easy shipping)
• Consequences
  

1. a lot of job opportunities
2. Big cities develop there
3. internal migration from the countryside

The SEZ's and migration cause regional inequality.

This means:

- some regions in China are very rich (east), other regions very poor (west)

What does SEZ stand for?

1. Super Expected Zombies
2. Special Economic Zone
3. Special Ecological Zone
4. Special Euro Zone

Wat is an SEZ?

1. An area with low costs for multinational companies
2. In industrial area in rich countries
3. An area with regional inequality
4. A poor industrial area in rich countries

What is the biggest advantage for companies to do business in an SEZ?

1. They do not have to pay any tax
2. There are many other international companies too
3. There are many illiterate people
4. They have to pay less tax

Where are most SEZ's in China?

1. North
2. East
3. South
4. West

Pearl river delta in 1993 before it was an SEZ

Pearl river delta in 2019 after it was an SEZ

Why does an SEZ cause the cities around it to grow so big so fast?

What is the consequence of SEZ's for the population distribution in China?

Homework T3

--> On Magister I will put the link to a lesson up that is self-paced.

--> In this lesson up you watch 2 video's about China's silk road and the effect this has on the Uygur population. Next week we will discuss your throughts about this topic.

China's new silk road has large economic consequences internationally.

It also has political and social consequences internally (inside China). The territory of the Uygurs is located exactly on the route. China increased its influence on the Uygur province with terrible consequences.

Watch the video on the next slide on the topic: what is happening to the Uygurs and why is nobody doing anything?

Why did China start the re-educational programmes for the Uygurs?

What do you think the Netherlands or other countries should do with this situation?
