This quote is the best interpretation of the Special Economic Zone’s features. Deng pointed out several cities in the southern coastal line on the map, which means Special Economic Zones are opening their doors and taking opportunities from the flow of globalization. For Example, Hong Kong used to be a small fishing village. However, after the Reunification, it performs less manufacturing and builds Service-related industries due to the environmental issues. Hong Kong became an international city that can handle a large number of capital and goods from all over the world.
3. Considering the economic systems of your chosen countries, which country do you think would be the most open to trade with the United States and why?

Japan is ranked 7th out of 41 countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
My favorite was an article from Forbes magazine about how outsourcing to China is more American than Sam Walton’s founding design of the Buy America Program. There is most likely not one American who does not know the retail giant known as Walmart. Currently in business over 50 years, Walmart is now a huge part of corporate America. In 1950 Sam Walton, founder of Walmart and Sams Club, opened Walton’s 5&10 store in Arkansas. His criterion for being one of the most famous entrepreneur’s of his time was to find a way to sell goods at a cheaper price than his competitors.
Threat of New Entrants is weak. Entry barriers are high because of the economy, significant experience-based cost advantages, other cost advantages held by industry members (e.g., access to inputs, favorable location), brand loyalty (which comes from membership and other services), strong network effects and high capital requirements. 5. Substitute Products or Services is moderate. Warehouse clubs like a magnet for customers and pulling them away from other traditional retail channels such as supermarkets, department stores, drugstores, office supply stores, consumer electronics etc… All three warehoused club rivals - Costco, Sam’s and BJ’s – have similar strategies: Low prices, low operating costs, geographic expansion – Costco; Sam’s Club concept is to sell merchandise at low profit margins, which means at low prices to members; and BJ’s offers brand-name merchandise at prices that were significantly lower than the prices found at retail, supermarkets, dept.
As America became an industrial giant she was in many ways still a small nation. America's international influence was minimal, in large part due to precedent set down by Washington and other early Presidents. In reality, though, America was not a powerful nation militarily and the level of business conducted internationally by American concerns was relatively small. The rapid growth of American industry forced business to look elsewhere and the government was obliged to help find markets for these products. The influence of industrialists and Social Darwinism is evident in the motivations for American expansion.

About the yen. Interestingly enough, the yen also became a safe-haven currency during the crisis, along with the dollar. Obviously, the yen is the most important currency in Asia, because Japan has the second-highest foreign-exchange reserves in the region and the world, just after China, but it is a freely convertible currency with high market liquidity and is also an important trading currency. Also, with Japanese interest rates so low, many investors were borrowing in yen and investing their proceeds abroad to get access to higher returns. When the crisis hit, the money quickly left the emerging markets and returned to Japan, a practice called carry trade.
So as you can see, it is not the highest paying degree, but definitely not the lowest. I would definitely look into and consider this in my search for career choices. As far as the benefit to the company is concerned, tuition reimbursement is huge. The fact that not many companies in today’s society even offer it, make it even more valuable. It can save a person upward of $60,000-$100,000 over the years that it takes to get a bachelor’s degree.

Immigrants born in India outdo others in achieving economic success in the Untied States. At the same time, Pakistan-born immigrants, while trailing behind Indians, do better than the native-born Americans. While both immigrant groups originate in South Asia, huge disparities in their economic success exist in the US that needs further exploration. The estimates reported in the 2010 American Community Survey revealed that the median salaried household income of India-born immigrants was around $94,700. In comparison, the median household income of native-born Americans was estimated at $51,750.
