from China goes to Wal-Mart. This made Wal-Mart China’s eighth largest trading partner. Governments, businesses, communities, and individuals in countries around the world face both challenges and opportunities as a result of rapidly expanding economic globalization. Changes in a country’s economy can happen very quickly and can deeply affect people and institutions. The fact that Wal-Mart is a company not even a country; and is China’s eighth largest trading partner; just makes us realize how much economic growth depends on businesses to produce more goods and services faster and more efficiently.
Technically, China does have some laws against taking bribes but there is a fine line between bribes and gift giving. It is an acceptable practice to give gifts to the officials that a company works with because it shows respect and that you value their friendship. The problem is that the gifts are becoming more and more expense to ensure the company gets everything that is needed to open a division in their country. The Chinese government is getting more aggressive with cracking down on officials taking bribes in order to fast track business licenses, but there is still a long way to go. According to FCPA, it is illegal in the United States to bribe or accept a bribe in return for favors, and most statewide business will abide by these laws.

Examine how globalisation has resulted in economic winners and losers (15) Globalisation is the process by which the world is becoming increasingly interconnected as a result of massively increased trade and cultural exchange. Globalisation over the past hundred years has undoubtedly made the world more interconnected including closer societies, politics, economies, cultures and the environment. Globalisation has increased the production of goods and services. There are those who argue that globalisation creates “winners” and “losers,” as some countries prosper, whilst other countries fail to do well. China is becoming a more developed country and is becoming a ‘’winner”.
What advantages would China offer foreign companies to list on its exchanges? Are these advantages greater than the disadvantages? Explain. The world has seen China's enormous potential and companies do not want to miss out an opportunity for future growth.

1. Summarize the political risks of operating a manufacturing company in China. With over 20 years of plastic manufacturing experience, Riordan Manufacturing has proven the industry their design concepts, manufacturing capabilities, product quality, and care for their customers have placed them where they are today.

Although these were dimensions they were hoping to achieve, “modernization was incompatible with Chinese traditional culture” (Keping, 158). Traditional Chinese culture is focused on the significant importance of family. Jung states in his article, Traditional Chinese Culture, that the “family stability is attained through a patriarchal structure.” The roles are determined by age, sex, and generational status (Jung, 89). The traditional families are large, however, the modern day government, People’s Republic of China, encourages small families through financial incentives (Jung, 90). Blind Shaft is an emotional and dramatic account of the lives of two nomadic coal miners, Song and Tang.
China’s culture is founded upon Confucian and Maoist, rather than capitalist, which impacts ethical decisions made by Chinese business leaders (Fok, Hartman, & Kwong, 2005). Jamaica’s heritage is capitalist and it is a low uncertainty avoidance country which means the country is open to changes in pressures to industrialize more so that other cultures. The country’s eagerness to develop could have an impact on how ethical its business leaders are, when it concerns making decisions that affect financial, environmental, and cultural issues (Fok, Hartman, & Kwong, 2005). The results of the study show that when the
Money is what makes the world turn and it’s exactly what china has. China primarily gets its money from its huge exporting business all over the world. Everywhere you see it says made in china it was made and bought from china giving them more money. Not only has this but America owes china a lot of money from are “issues” that we had and they could pull this card anytime they want and ask for their money. This money could be used to fund next generation equipment for their military technology and even for society.
8-UNIFICATION OF CHINA This chapter explores the unification and expansion of China during the Qin and Han dynasties (221 B.C.E. to 220 C.E.). A rich tradition of the social and political philosophies of Confucians, Daoists, and Legalists was the foundation on which these and later dynasties rested.
