Chapter 1066 Pressure and Governance
Maybe many Americans don’t regard black people as human beings. At least they really pay black people wages. Based on this, the living conditions of black people in the United States are the best among black people in the world. As for Haiti and Liberia, which are dominated by black people, In this country, although black people have more political status, the economy is in shambles. Except for the upper class of society, it is better to stay in the United States.

Luo Song said: "China's rapid population growth has benefited from a relatively sound medical and health system and the current development of various parts of Africa. Since the late 1990s, various diseases in East Africa have declined significantly. This is reflected in hot and humid areas such as coastal areas. It is particularly obvious that there are significant differences between China and West Africa.”
There are many diseases in tropical areas. In fact, in the 20th century, there was not much difference from temperate zones and subtropics, but it was more obvious in alpine zones such as northern Europe.
Among tropical diseases, malaria is the most prominent. East African malaria still exists today, but with the development of East Africa, large-scale concentrated outbreaks no longer occur. It can be said to be the lowest among countries at the same latitude, even lower than some temperate countries. .
“Secondly, with the development of industry and agriculture, the living standards of our country’s citizens have improved significantly compared with the last century. The prices of agricultural products have always remained low, and the per capita consumption of food, clothing and other types of industrial products has increased significantly.”
Agriculture is the basis for ensuring population growth in East Africa. The agricultural sector in East Africa is not only self-sufficient, but can also be exported in large quantities. With the promotion of mechanization, the use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture, the planning and development of agriculture based on local conditions, and the improvement of variety cultivation technology, East African agriculture has not only achieved Rapid development in quantity, while quickly catching up with European and American countries in quality.
Nowadays, East Africa is considered one of the world's agricultural powers, and it belongs to the same first-tier echelon as Germany. Germany's agricultural development strengths are mainly reflected in the technical level of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, while East Africa is at the forefront of the world in mechanization, while the United States and other countries in all aspects It is relatively balanced, but there are no more eye-catching highlights like East Africa and Germany.
"At the same time, the national population growth rate has various differences due to different levels of education and the influence of ideological concepts. For example, the population growth rate in urban areas is slightly slower than that in rural areas. The popularization of compulsory education across the country has also increased the fertility rate of the new generation. Not as good as the older generation, but this difference is not obvious at present, but it can also reflect some changes in our country’s population to a certain extent.”
Generally speaking, the level of education does have an impact on population growth. For example, the older generation in East Africa do not think much because of their low education level. In this way, they tend to carry out breeding according to the traditional model. , especially the immigrants from the Far East. Because of East Africa's miscegenation policy, the population of East Africa exploded in the 1970s and 1980s, laying a solid foundation for East Africa to become the world's most populous country.
"At present, our country has fully popularized compulsory education, and higher education has also made great progress. The quality of the people has been significantly improved. This has paved the way for China to build a world industrial power. The level and quality of compulsory education have been significantly improved, and a complete talent training system has been established. system, extensively build normal schools, and improve the average teaching level of teachers, which has significantly narrowed the gap between China’s average teaching level in compulsory education and countries such as Germany.”
In the past, due to factors such as talent, funding and productivity levels, the level of compulsory education in East African schools was obviously insufficient, and it was a typical "poor education", especially compared to European countries such as Germany and Austria-Hungary that implemented compulsory education earlier.
As for other countries with non-compulsory education, the average schooling level is much higher than that in East Africa, such as Russia. Although most people in Russia do not even have the opportunity to go to school, most of the people who can go to school in Russia are the country’s social elites, and Russian education It is also a typical elite route, so it is normal for the level of Russian schools to be much higher than that of East Africa.
Luo Song continued: "The vigorous development of education has also played a role in supporting the development of scientific research, industry and agriculture in our country. It has trained a large number of scientific researchers and more knowledgeable technical workers and farmers for our country, and at the same time promoted education, medical care, etc. Industry Development.”
With the development of industrialization, East Africa has a greater demand for talents, and with industrialization comes specialization in the agricultural field. For example, mechanical operation, pesticide and fertilizer use, scientific management, etc. all require new farmers with corresponding knowledge. “In short, my country’s population has not only achieved a quantitative breakthrough, but also achieved a qualitative breakthrough. When the population exceeded 100 million, the education level of the new population has also improved significantly.”
East Africa’s population has not only become one of the most populous countries in the world in terms of scale, but the quality of East Africa’s population is also relatively excellent among countries in the world, which is obviously beneficial to the further development of East Africa.
Ernst said: “The expansion of population size and the improvement of national quality have laid a solid foundation for the further development of our country, but we will also face some problems, including the guidance of social public opinion and thought, social order and security, and the affordability of urban development. "
As the saying goes, the forest is so big that there are no birds! The number of East Africans has increased, which has also made it more difficult for the East African government to manage. Ernst put his thoughts first, naturally to prevent "Russian" ideas from entering East Africa. Now is an active period of social movements in Russia, Europe and the United States. After all, there have been two large-scale economic crises in recent years, which have also provided the soil for social movements in Europe and the United States.
Especially in Russia, which first encountered an economic crisis and then experienced a disastrous defeat in the Russo-Japanese War. At this time, the social movement in Russia had actually become a big trend. Otherwise, during the previous war, it would not have been possible to overthrow the Tsarist Russian government with one call and a hundred responses. After all, the prerequisite for one call and a hundred responses was profound. Mass base, which requires strict and large-scale social organization.
The previous coup in Russia occurred in 1917, but now it is 1909, so the past few years should have been a period of high incidence of social movements in Russia.
In terms of social security, the East African government is not too worried. As a country with a big government and a planned economy system, the East African government has relatively good social governance.
As for urban carrying capacity, it is nothing more than a resource issue such as housing, transportation, education, and medical care. With the growth of East Africa's population and the advancement of industrialization, a large number of people are pouring into the city, and various urban resources are becoming increasingly tight. This requires the East African government to restructure the city. Plan and further implement public resources such as medical care, education, and transportation.
Of course, not only cities but also rural population growth are the main force. However, the current urbanization rate in East Africa is less than 30%, and cities cannot accommodate the excess population for the time being.
Therefore, it is also necessary to provide more abundant public resources such as medical care and education for the population in rural areas.
Although in the past two decades, due to the need to develop industry, East Africa has tilted most policies and resources towards cities, this does not mean that rural areas should be ignored. At least it cannot be done too much. Therefore, necessary medical care must be improved. , education is naturally necessary.
Of course, due to the fact that the level of urbanization in East Africa will further increase in the future, East Africa must also be cautious in investing in public resources in rural areas. After all, it can be seen with the naked eye that the future population of East Africa will increasingly concentrate in cities. In this case, the investment in rural areas Investing too much may cause a certain amount of waste.
Of course, the East African government cannot give up food because of choking, but it needs to invest more energy in sorting out the development potential, population and economic conditions of rural areas, so as to allocate social resources more rationally.
