China presents itself in the world as a powerful and rich country, but its healthcare system does not fully correspond to this. It has been very significantly underfunded for a long time – also because the regime prefers to spend to support the growth of the economy (which would not be so bad) and invests in increasing its own prestige. That can also be seen today in the fact that, according to many reports, medical equipment is
running out and deliveries are getting stuck in epicenters of infection.

What does the underlined pronoun in the text refer to?

1 point

to the fact that China presents itself as a powerful and rich country

to the underfunding of the healthcare system

to the support of the growth of the Chinese economy

to the investment in increasing their own prestige

Let’s suppose you have expressed this opinion:
“When talking about global warming, we should openly
admit that a large number of beef cattle, bred for meat,
also contribute to it. If we are serious about saving our
planet, we should all become vegetarians.”

Here are four people's reactions to your opinion.
Which of them is an example of the straw man?
