East Timor faces Australia across the Timor Sea to the south. The establishment of East Timor was naturally inseparable from Australia's help, otherwise this country would not be independent, and East Timor is the youngest country in the world."
In November 1999, East Timor established the National Consultative Council (ncc), which has the nature of a quasi-cabinet and quasi-legislative body. In July 2000, the first transitional cabinet was established.
The Constituent Assembly election was held in August 2001, and the Constituent Assembly and the second transitional cabinet were established on September 15.
A presidential election was held in April 2002, and Xanana Gusmao, leader of the Eastern Independence Movement, was elected.
On May 20, 2002, the Democratic Republic of East Timor was officially established.
The main mineral deposits include gold, manganese, chromium, tin, copper, etc. The Timor Sea has abundant oil and natural gas resources.
The mining industry is dominated by oil and natural gas, and oil and gas revenue is the main economic pillar.
In order to expand oil and gas revenue, East Asia established a petroleum fund in July 2005. Since 2007, the average monthly oil and gas revenue has been approximately US$100 million. In July 2008, the National Petroleum Administration (ANP) was established.
As of the end of December 2011, the oil fund had rolled over to US$9.31 billion. Although this part of the output value is considerable, not everyone can enjoy this kind of dividend.
Not to mention the local farmers, even the urban population and officials, not many people are rich, because their country needs to build everything, it is completely blank, so everything costs money.
Timor-Leste's agricultural population accounts for 90% of the total population, and it is temporarily unable to self-sufficiency in food. This also requires a large amount of foreign exchange to purchase. Its main agricultural products include corn, rice, potatoes, etc., and cash crops include coffee, rubber, coconut, etc.
Because East Timor has mountains, lakes, springs, and beaches, it has certain tourism potential. However, tourism resources have yet to be developed, which requires more money.
Except for Dili and Baucau, there are few hotels in other areas, and there are very few international flights. About 10,000 foreign tourists travel to East Asia every year, so the income is a bit, but not much.
Infrastructure such as transportation is poor and transportation is inconvenient. The total length of roads is 6,040 kilometers (including 3,440 kilometers of unpaved roads). Many roads can only be opened to traffic during the dry season. This is a bottomless pit.
Of course, there are places to make money. For example, Dili Port is a deep-water port, there are seaports, Hera Fishing Port, etc. These can all generate certain profits, but not much.
Dili Airport is the only international airport in the East. It is connected to Singapore, Bali, Indonesia and Darwin, Australia.
It can be said that this is a quite backward island country. There are only 4 hospitals in the country and health centers at the county level, providing medical and health services to 60% of the population.
The birth rate is 3.3%, and the mortality rate for children under 5 years old is 8%. Although these numbers may seem small, for every 100 children under 5 years old, eight will die. One out of a dozen children will die. This is a death rate.
It's actually very scary.
In 2009, the proportion of the poor population in Timor-Leste was 41%, 50% of children were malnourished, more than 56% of the residents lived on less than US$0.55 a day, more than half of the population had no drinking water, and the average life expectancy was 55.5 years. The national unemployment rate remains high.
Up to 20%.
Thinking of the situation in East Timor, Han Peacock couldn't help but ask: "Where is this?"
Li Fang said: "This is Hela, does Hela know?"
Looking around is a lush jungle, and in this jungle, there will be a blank space like a dog gnawing from time to time.
"I've never heard of it," Han Kongque said.
"As you can see, this is Hela. In 2009, Hela was still a virgin forest, but now it has become what it is now. It took a lot of time to level the field," Li Fang said.
"What are you planning to do?" Han Peacock asked as he looked at this huge construction site.
"This is now the Hella base and will be the location of East Timor's most important power plant in the future," Li Fang said.
"Just to build a power plant, you destroyed such a large area of forest?" Han Kongque said.
"No way, this is an island country, and it only occupies half of the island. What else can we do? The power plant can't be built in the sea, right? It's just noon, let's go, I'll treat you to dinner, I often don't meet anyone here
"Man, aren't you in a hurry to leave?" Li Fang said.
"It won't rain anymore?" Han Peacock walked out from under a big tree and looked at the sky.
"This season is the rainy season in Hela. This is normal. Come on, I'll treat you to dinner..." Li Fang said.
"I'm not in a hurry, but where are the other staff?" Han Kongque asked as he walked.
"Everyone else had gone to work, so I seemed a little bored. Bored, bored, so let's look at the sea. It was okay at first, but then I felt like vomiting when I saw the sea. Oh, it's too much.
!" Li Fang said.
Han Peacock was speechless. It seemed that he was really bored.
Seeing two large signs appearing in front of them, the words on them were in English. Before Han Peacock could see what was written on them, Li Fang said: "There are warning signs in Detun and English.
It means there is construction ahead, and our dormitory is right in front."
Li Fang directly led Han Peacock to a large group of prefabricated houses, all of which were recommended prefabricated houses made of composite panels.
"This is our canteen, and over there is the water tank. All our drinking water comes from there," Li Fang said.
"This is a special water dispenser for boiling water. Because there is no running water in the area, all the water is pumped groundwater. After being filtered by two water filters, it can be boiled before drinking. I remember that when I first arrived in Timor-Leste, I basically had diarrhea in the first few days.
,The reason is that I am not accustomed to the local water source." Li Fang introduced as he walked.
Looking at the dense air conditioners, Han Peacock asked: "Is it hot in here?"
"Timor-Leste has high temperatures all year round, and air conditioning is a must-have for every dormitory. Our accommodation conditions are pretty good. There are four people in one room, with things on the upper bunk and sleeping on the lower bunk. Mosquito nets are a must. I will explain why in detail later."
Li Fangdao.
As they talked, they walked into a wooden room with a kitchen inside and some tables and chairs outside.
"This is the canteen. Four chefs cook. Breakfast is steamed buns, porridge and pickles. Lunch and dinner are one meat, one vegetarian and one soup. They are nutritious, but there are all kinds of peppers, green peppers, red peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns. There is nothing you can do about it.
,The leader here is from Yichang, he has a strong taste." Li Fang said helplessly.
After serving two meals, Li Fang just sat down and continued: "Why do we have to hang a mosquito net? Because the mosquitoes in East Timor are very fierce, and some of them carry the dengue virus."
Dengue fever is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus. It is caused by Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti, which belong to the Aedes mosquitoes (also known as Aedes mosquitoes and Aedes mosquitoes), first bite the patient and then become "vector mosquitoes".
Other healthy people can become infected through bites from this vector mosquito.
Symptoms of extreme fatigue and depression may occur after the disease. Occasionally, the patient may worsen to dengue hemorrhagic fever, leading to further bleeding, shock, and death. Complications caused by dengue fever are often the main cause of death. Generally speaking, the main cause of dengue fever is
Distributed in tropical and subtropical regions.
The name "Dengge" is a transliteration of English dengue.
As for the origin of dengue, there are different opinions. The more common theory is that it originated from "ki-dingapepo" in Swahili (swahili), which means "sudden cramps, as if being possessed by a demon".
In Taiwan, it is called dengue fever, tengu fever or bone fever, among which the name tengu fever comes from Japanese.
In mainland China, it is called dengue fever, in Singapore and Malaysia it is called dengue or mosquito fever, and in Vietnam it is commonly known as febrile fever.
At present, there is neither a preventive vaccine nor a specific drug to treat dengue fever, so prevention is the main approach.
At this moment, Li Fang suddenly slapped his hand in the air: "Look, this Aedes albopictus mosquito is the main force that infects dengue fever virus. In addition, mosquitoes can also infect malaria, so in this tropical area
You have to be cautious, after all, safety comes first.
But there is always a gap in everything. I have to say that even if you wear long sleeves and long pants and spray mosquito repellent all over your body, mosquitoes will always have a chance to bite you. I have to say that I am really lucky. I have been there for a year.
"Many, except for the occasional minor cold, I have never had a major illness."
Looking at Li Fang who was smiling either happily or bitterly, Han Peacock didn't know what to say.
"Would you like a drink? The tiger beer here is quite good," Li Fang said.
"Then have a drink! I'll take it," Han Kongque said.
"No, but I can only drink one cup. Tiger beer is definitely the easiest beer I have ever drunk. Although this beer is popular in Southeast Asia, I really can't stand it. I can't stand it after just one can.
I feel dizzy, I have never had this reaction when drinking other beers."
As Li Fang spoke, he got up and went to the other side to get two bottles of beer. These should be tiger beers.
"What are the main ingredients? It should be similar to Chinese beer, right?" Han Peacock asked.
Li Fang smiled and said: "Don't worry, the main raw materials are the same. They are all classified as 'lower fermented light lager beer', but the quality of the raw materials used is better and the process requirements are stricter."
Han Peacock really laughed: "So the alcohol content is a little higher?"
"We can't say that. We can only say that the alcohol content reaches the standard, but the alcohol content of our domestic beer is too low and cannot reach seven degrees at all." Li Fang said.
After taking a sip, Han Kongque said: "It's a very good wine."
"Tiger beer is also sold in China. I think I can drink enough. Of course I'm talking about beer. When I first came here, there was a bar nearby. I went there every weekend and I was always drunk.
I ordered the tiger cup from there.
If I drink at my usual speed, every time I feel like I'm getting drunk, it's already too late. I end up getting drunk every time I go there, so later I really want to know how the tiger there is different from the bottled beer we usually drink. Finally
You know, the degree is qualified." Li Fangdao. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
