=My prediction =

I think that my country has animal trafficking. I believe that, because in China there are a lot of exotic animals that they can be only found there. They earn a lot off money with this. In some parts of China or in places with this culture; such as Cantón, the restaurants and the markets are famous because they serve all kinds of wild animals, considered delicacy dishes. They also used wild animals to shell their skins and earn very bigs amounts of money, or for some circus. I think that this may be forbbiden because if we kill a lot of different species of animals in several years we are not going to have any exotic animal.
 * Animal Trafficking.**

I think that my country has child labour. I believe that because of the extremely poorness that there are there, a bad and poor educational system and a flexible legislation that doesn´t protect and promote the rights of children in China. I think that China forbbiden the child labour, but the large economical interests manage to evade the laws of the nation.In this way the children are forced to work. I believe that this may be forbbiden because all the children may have a good education and learn at least the basic things for when they get older could have a job.
 * Child Labour.**
