China's economic development has been an unprecedented growth miracle in recent human history. Över the four decades since opening up, China has transformed from a poor and backward economy to a prosperous and modern one. Indeed, for much of its growth history, China rode on the waves of globalisation, international trade, and foreign investment. However, recent global events, such as the Sino-American trade war and the Covid-19, have threatened China's centrality in the global economic order. Analyse these two (2) calamitous events and explain how each of these events has threatened China's overall position and standing in the global economy. Provide relevant examples.

President Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana had the Akesombo Dam built on the Volta River. It was expected that this large infrastructure project would help bring prosperity and growth to the people of Ghana. However, the project turned out to be unsuccessful, and didn't manage to bring Ghana on a path of stable, long-term growth. Which of these statements would Solow use to comment on this story? O The new infrastructure built in Ghana increased capital in the economy, thus leading to short-term negative growth. The infrastructure brought new capital, but not new technology, which is essential for long-term growth. O The savings rate declined as an effect of the increase in capital, thus bringing Ghana to a lower steady state.
