Hi guys this is a essay on topic "Is china the new superpower". Can you score it out of 10?

China the largest and most industrilious country of Asia is the hub of all trade in that continent. All most all of the manufacturing is concentrated in fractions of the chinese land. From the purview of collonial rule, the chinese have grown far and wide from their conservative and recluse society.

A majority of companies have atleast one manufactring plant in China. Cheap producation, swift policies, govenment aide, ease of business, incentives are the powerful impetuses for thriving companies in the mainland.

Recently China has started shiting its focus on education and healtcare. There are more people coming to Chinda for education and healtcare than a decade ago. This has provided jobs and more opportunities to the most populous country in the world apart from manufacturing, thus increasing skills and versatality of its people and also easing its hardcore repressive image.

A superpower like USA is paramount in almost all the fields, be it techonogy, defence, services or manufacturing. The chinese mainland is catchig up in fields it is behind, those are research, technology and defense. Chinese military equipments are finding their way to some developing countries and almost all the big tech companies have a research center in China. Research helps bring new products which then dominate the markets.

A vox populi about China is that the concentraton of power in few hands will likely burst its growth bubble but facts show otherwise. China is No. 1 in corruption, the leaders of china are valued more than $19billion. Its known for its suppresion and intolerance however even all of that hasn't stopped this country from growing.

Even at home we find Chinese candles, Chinese 'Pichkaris' and even China made 'Ganesh Ji'. The chinese governement is very shrewd and progressive. Its wants to dominate the world in manufacturing. The Chinese government issues incentives to their manufactures for the goods and they are then exported below the cost price to other nations, rendering their own industries unable to compete with such low prices. Its prudently killing other indutrious to make it the only viable option for manufacturing.

With almost all the manufacturing, research concentrated in this mainland its enjoys unchallenged powers over the world economy. After the fall of the erstwhile Soviet Union, world power has largely been shifted to the USA which needs to be balanced, China is the only plausible option which we see today and other nations are supporting it in being a balancing force to big daddy USA.

Even if it isn't as big a superpower as USA, its surely is a superpower given its might in industries and overall balanced factions. With the clamoring of a balancing force to USA the mainland finds support. Its ever growing support and growth will one day propel it to surpass the United States and make it the uno Superpower.

sometimes I used the word "has".

Here the question is when should we use "HAVE"?

And when should we use "HAS"?

Let us know later. Friends, first of all, we should know the "SUBJECT".

In the above 4 examples, "I, you, the motor bike & water tanker" are calledsubjects.

Friends, now remember 2 essential RULES.

RULE 1: if the subject is I/we/you/they/ plural noun (pens, bottles,workers etc), then "HAVE" should be used.

RULE 2: if the subject is he/she/it/singular noun (the pen, the bottle, mybrother etc), then "HAS" should be used.
