last several years Where were they and what happened

I think China can work with other countries in many ways. First, we
can send medical teams to countries in need to improve their public
health systems. Second, we can help build more roads, hospitals and
schools in countries in need to improve local people’s lives. Third,
we can work together to protect the environment, like planting more
trees or developing clean energy.
