While China have been doing this the countries In the Middle East with the oil have been trying to shift away from having a customer base from over dependence on the Western market and so they have been looking at rapidly growing markets like China. Another example of how a good relationship leafs to a good supply of energy is the case of the US and Saudi Arabia. They had a symbiotic relationship, meaning that they depended on each other, but in the aftermath of 9/11 their relationship has become increasingly strained. This is because 15 out of the 19 hijackers were of Saudi nationality. However, they need to have a good relationship so they can both survive as Saudi Arabia need the money from exporting and the US need the energy.

It wasn’t said about Mao however it adapts to his ideas and aspirations. There are numerous hypotheses regarding the impact that Mao’s leadership has had over China. Mao’s legacy is that the system he established was idealistic. It did not align with the rest of Western culture after the Second World War, but with the population and vast resources that were readily available, “Mao founded Marxist study groups in Changsha.”2 This source from a school history textbook is highly trustworthy as there are many other sources backing up the truth behind it. China was left with a regime that did not respond in correlation with the rest of the world.
Chinese, 100 C.E. - 600 C.E. In every civilization there are unique cultural and political structures, even though not all are continued. These structures help to better clarify our understanding of the civilization, and why societies are the way they are today. When compared to other civilizations in the classical era, China’s culture and politic structures seem to have more continuity than change.
I believe it is very significant to the country’s history because it shows the reader how much of a problem the US has had with immigration since the 1800’s! The fact that the Chinese were “unlike” the US citizens in some ways did NOT give the government the right to completely revoke all immigration from
Even though China was not very develop country at the time this may have been the beginning of a big change for China. This law says a lot about the Chinese characteristics. They are loyal, intelligent people who are making a big impact on the many people live in the world
Carlos Turcios Turcios1 Professor Lenerville Political Science 2 7 December 2012 Compare and Contrast: China & United States Government The Governments of China and the U.S share some similarities, although they have many differences as well.

Distinctness between both cultures governments are also obvious, the main one being China having a single political party as opposed to the United States having two main political
It was perhaps the Han dynasty, (which lasted over 400 years), that enforced and maintained peace and prosperity most successfully. As varied as the dynasties are, it is best to examine each one separately to determine the exact relationship between them. The Zhou Dynasty was more successful in some areas than others. It managed to expand the territory of China by taking over the Yangtze River valley, which eventually became China’s core. But the expansion of land weakened China’s ‘central government’, and made it vulnerable against any disloyal citizens.
