  4. Developed vs. Developing • Developed country- one with many industries and a well-developed economy. • Developing country- one that has low industrial production and little modern technology.

  6. Resources in China • China has a large supply of mineral resources • One of the world’s largest supplies of coal • Coal found in northern part of China • China also has oil deposits

  7. Hydroelectricity • Electricity produced by using the power of flowing water • In 2002, 17% of China’s electricity was from hydroelectric power • Three Gorges Dam- under construction
