QUESTION: CRTICALLY EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF CHINA ON CONTEMPORARY GLOBAL POLITICS The impact of China on contemporary global politics is still much a contentious issue. The impact it has had has been positive with urban economic growth and political stability for some time. There has been cases of where the country has experienced turmoil in the economy and in politics, but has somewhat been a benchmark for other nation-states to exemplify how China has maintained strong economic growth and being a world leader in this. The growth of the nation has been a challenge, but has found a way to integrate itself into the existing world economy. MAIN POINTS: * Size and rapid growth of China, represent a challenge to establish global order * This clashes with existing assertiveness * The dynamics and future impacts of these power shifts are far from clear understanding and aren’t determined * The thirty years since China launched its policies of reform and opening could be described as the period during which the country has gradually become integrated into the world economy.
This is shown by how there GDP is high, and the very large population. Productivity in China has also significantly increased in the last few decades. There are many different natural resources that can be found on China for example: coal, iron ore, petroleum, natural gas, mercury, tin, tungsten, antimony, manganese, molybdenum, vanadium, magnetite, aluminium, lead, zinc, uranium, hydropower potential (world's largest). China can make huge amounts of money by selling its natural resources to other countries where they may not be able to extract these resources from their own country. In 2006, out of all the consumer electrics in the world, 80% was exported from China.
The United States of America is the world’s leading g economy. The country’s economy is also ranked as the fastest growing in the world courtesy of economic reforms introduced in the country in the year 1978. It has risen also to become the second largest importer of goods, and it is also recognized as the largest exporter of goods. China’s huge population has been quite instrumental in growing its economy. The population provides the much needed labor force that has propelled the country’s industrial and agricultural sector to great heights of productivity.
Evaluate solutions to the trade-off between equity and efficiency in China’s economic development Although China has achieved rapid and remarkable economic growth in the last few years, there persists an inequality in development between urban and rural regions, among districts, and between the economy and society. There are still numerous issues which influence people's immediate interests in fields such as income distribution, education and employment. The problem of the trade-off between equity and efficiency in China’s economy development is extremely complicated. This essay will analyse three solutions to this problem: income distribution system reform; making education equitable, and vocational training for urban and rural workers. Despite certain of potential drawbacks, providing vocational training to rural migrant workers and new members of the workforce in urban and rural areas is the most realistic and beneficial option to balance equity and efficiency in China’s development.
However, as the cities’ expanse, China’s urban population is growing rapidly, so the public health problem increase seriously, and it has become a big issue in China. Gong et al. (2012) argues that the largest human migration happened in China during the past 30 years, and the urban population grew from191 million in 1981 to 622 million in 2009—the rural-to-urban migration is the most important reason (p. 843). With
Certainly, there are some positive effects of China’s rising wages in its prosperous domestic market and other countries’ revival employment. One advantage is that foreign investment manufacturers will save a lot of freight shipping cost to the international market since many present or potential
The "gamble" is that cities might be empty now, but they will be filled up later, an argument Stephen Roach has previously made. While some argue that this is symptomatic of a massive property bubble in China, this really shows the presence on individual property bubbles across China.” A news from Business Insider. (Mamta Badkar, 2013) Introduction “Some statistics over that ten year period are well known: China became the world's second largest economy and the world's largest goods exporter. But such statistics greatly underestimate the scale of China's economic achievement. The last 10 years in China's economy may be summed up in two overwhelming facts which place all other economic data in context.”(John Ross, 2012).
In 1979, Xiaoping became the leader in China and reconstructed the government. His emphases were on technology growth, military, agriculture, and science. These changes could be seen in the privatization of personal land, more opportunities to produce and sell their products and increased control of investment opportunities. The Chinese people began moving to the cities, living longer and healthier lives and earning more per year. China was a nation that functioned on tradition, culture and respect of heritage before globalization.
At a United Nations Summit recently, global trade was hailed as the reason certain newly industrialized countries such as China has become so forthright and dominant in their advances both economic and social, the following report read, ‘In recent decades, a number of developing countries, most notably the East Asian newly industrializing countries, have been able to purposefully use the elemental force of trade to boost growth and development within a relatively short time span.’ (Puri 2005 cited in UNCTAD 2005 report p.22) But this boost in International Trade has not been without its complications and challenges. With increased competition and the laws behind international trade becoming stricter year by year countries who have only recently found a foothold in the world trading community, are struggling to compete with the more economically developed countries, and are finding their trade links cheapened or cut off completely by the wave of competitors, all trying to stay ahead in these economically turbulent times. This report aims to analyse key trade and development issues facing developing countries today, but also expose the opportunities these countries
Problems of population growth in China Nowadays, China develops at full speed, and really becomes stronger and stronger. However, it also brings lots of problems that cannot easily be dealt with. Michael. K said “As the world's population surpassed 6 billion in October 1999, China's population represented more than 1/5 of this total (20.8%) — one out of every five people in the world lives in China. Today, China's population exceeds 14 billion, a number that continues to increase minute-by-minute on Beijing's official.”(2009) Unstoppable population growth has become a huge problem in China that we need to solve.
