4. How do governments raise money?
Well, governments raise money from taxes and different fees. For example, when people want
to apply for an ID card, or a passport, or a visa, they must pay money to the government. Whenever
we want to drive on the highway, we also need to pay tolls. Many companies like real estate agencies
also need to pay a high fee to run their business. In addition, I suppose that governments can get a
loan from the World Bank or another international bank.

If public spending in your country was increased, what should be the priorities?
I think that education should be a priority. Right now, there is a huge gap between schools in
rural areas and those in the cities. In addition, the government should hire more teachers, because
classrooms are packed; and teachers usually have to face 60 students per class. That's too much for
the teacher to insure good results for everyone.

6. Who should pay for services such as education and health care?
It makes sense for the government to pay, but given how populated China is, I think it's
normal for every family to pay a small fee in order to put their kids through school. There are
millions of children in China, and it costs a fortune to offer a good education to every one of them.
As far as health care is concerned, I think that the government should provide some help, but
employers should also offer insurance that covers their employees’
medical fees.
