Second, when we consider long-term interests, I think makes more sense to invest poor population. A country is governed by its people and it needs their contributions; if we are able to spend the money on ensuring poor people’s education and improving their living standards, the reward a country is likely to get is priceless. When children in poor areas get opportunities to be educated, more talents are likely to be discovered and used, and also when poor people get enough money to sustain their lives, the whole nation can develop and move forward in a safer and much more harmonious environment; both can bring the nation immeasurable benefits.
In summary, I think if a government is to make wise investment and create harmonious environment, it should invest poor population instead of hi-tech research.
