How does Lin describe economic relations between Britain and China? Which country benefits the most according to his view? Why i
amm1812

Justin Yifu Lin is a Chinese economist who is the author of the book "The Quest for Prosperity: How Developing Economies Can Take Off".

In his papers, Lin describes how the China, which many centuries ago was forced to enter a trade with Great Britain after the Opium Wars and was solely seen as a sourcing point, now faces a completely different reality in regards to commercial relations with the British.

The Chinese, whose strength relies on their massive and relatively cheap labor force, understood that the key to development was in acquiring knowledge that would let them thrive in the creation of their own industries. This process has been ongoing throughout the second half of the 20th century until nowadays, as British Enterprises set operations in Chinese Soil, employing Chinese citizens who would eventually benefit from all the knowledge they received. This process has resulted in the creation and incredible growth of global enterprises such as Hayer or Huawei.

(20 points :) ) Which claims about the declaration of the rights of man and the declaration of independence are true? (select al
solmaris [256]

The correct answers are: the declaration of independence speaks of a divine creator and the declaration of the rights of man speaks of a supreme being. Both documents drew on the "natural law" philosophy of John Locke.

Indeed, the Declaration of independence explicitly mentions the Creator in the preamble:

“"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen mentions the Supreme being in its preamble as well:

“In consequence whereof, the National Assembly recognises and declares, in the presence and under the auspices of the Supreme Being, the following Rights of Man and of the Citizen.”

Finally, although both documents draw on the natural law philosophy of John Locke, the American version is more traditional in that it considers that such rights are given to humans by a deity or transcendent being of the same kind while the French version is more secular.
