Many people think that Chinese government's attitude of ignoring AIDS means that the government doesn't want to ruin its reputation and investment environment by a virus. But if the government keeps on acting this way, the virus will spread faster.

Then I have another thought. AIDS issue in China is more related to economy, or poverty. The villagers in Henan became HIV positive during the process of selling blood. The reason of selling blood is that many of them make a living on this. Because of being poor, they have to sell blood to support their family. And because of being poor, they are not educated and have no knowledge of AIDS. Or even they know something about the virus, they can not make their ends meet except they sell blood.

I'm not sure how the western countries do to this. What I know from globalization is that the developing countries see the prices of the medicines needed rising.
