Malnutrition and Poverty in China and Around the World

China, whose population has grown from 556 million in 1950 to 1.3 billion today, has grown tremendously in the last century, internationally, economically, and socially. The Chinese economy’s growth is 7-8% per year according to statistics by the Chinese government, and is among the fastest growing internationally. It is because of China’s growing role today that it is important to focus on this Asian country. Although China has made gains in reducing hunger and poverty, there are still Chinese who suffer from malnourishment and poverty. These people need to be helped and ways need to be found to resolve poverty and malnutrition.
