On the other hand, the other countries weren’t able to succeed because they conquered by Europeans or their population died out from diseases or plagues (DOC 4, 5, 8). An additional document that would be used, would be a map of the different voyages and attacks Europe went on and did, this would help to see how they were able to succeed. Before Europe went on voyages at sea, China did, they had huge ships that were at the size of 400 ft. long, but they receded from this project and went on to another one. Admiral Zheng he was the main leader of the Chinese voyages that took place before the European explorations. These Chinese explorations were really helpful, but also really expensive because of the large timber ships that they built.
Early in the nineteenth century, the British had gained great influence and rule over China, for it was more modernized and developed, and consequently had more power. Not only that, but they started selling opium in China to balance their purchases of tea for export. (“Opium Wars” 35986). This resulted into an addiction to opium, a detrimental effect on the Chinese citizens caused by the Europeans. China’s response to this was to implement their prohibition against import of this drug by destroying a lot of opium on the ships arriving at the Port of Canton.
This makes it difficult to know for certain what exactly what went wrong and why. Any analysis requires reliance on speculation and raises as many, if not more, questions than it answers. It is still worth looking into because it shows some important points that other companies can learn from.

Case Analysis- Wal-Mart Introduction The implementation of Wal-Mart’s strategy in China has failed to achieve the desired sales results. Despite being the leading retailer in the world, Wal-Mart’s model of success that provides a key competitive advantage in the U.S. does not equally translate to diverse international communities. Likewise, Wal-Mart struggled in Germany and eventually withdrew by selling its stores to rival Metro. Despite the challenges currently being faced in China, Wal-Mart has experienced international success in Mexico, Canada and Britain. What long-term strategy should Wal-Mart adopt in China?
By 2005, it controlled a mere 3% of the Chinese cookie market and the team even considered pulling Oreo out of the Chinese market altogether for the long-term losses. While Chinese market plays an important part in Kraft’s international business, in 2005, Kraft decided to research the Chinese market to understand why the Oreo cookie that was so successful in most countries had failed to resonate with the Chinese people. Research showed the Chinese people were not big cookie eaters. Chinese consumers liked the contrast of sweet and bitter but they thought it was a little bit too sweet and a little bit too bitter. Without the emotional attachment of American consumers who grew up with the cookie, the taste and shape could be quite alien.
Demand for such vehicles can not be designed based on the jeep AMC existing, and the vehicle as desired from the Beijing Automotive Works (BAW) cost at least a $700 million.

The Beginnings of The Problem Opium had first arrived in London as a new medicinal trade product. It was new, compact, easily transported, and non-perishable. Trade with China proved very profitable and flourished for more than twenty years uninterrupted, until in 1835 China passed its first laws prohibiting the importation of opium (1). In the years following this prohibition, England responded simply by shifting the drop off points to other ports in China. China resisted these efforts, by England, to continue trade and began attacking their ships.
This calculated move by Google allowed them to legally circumvent China's censorship and shut down of their search engine by re-directing all search queries from google.cn to google.com.hk. But this move was still jeopardizing Google's Internet Content Provider license issued to them by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. To solve this problem, Google stopped re-directing all searches to google.com.hk and started to offer a link to it at the bottom of the google.cn search page. Because Google decided to comply with China's censorship their market share of 29% in 2010 declined to 1.7% in 2013. Legal, Cultural and Ethical Challenges For Google, the legal, cultural and ethical challenges they faced in China turned out to be insurmountable.
Article 25 says that “The state promotes family planning so that population growth may fit the plans for economic and social development”, and Article 49 states that “Both husband and wife have the duty to practice family planning”. In fact, the constitution cannot enforce jurisdiction directly in China, so the government has published many treaties, rules and ordinances to execute this policy, and finally in 2001, there was a law for family planning. However, as there is a serious decline of newborns and the population growth was slow down, China has lost benefits because of the large population. This means that the labor cost is gradually becoming higher, and the productivity of the whole country is a slowing down. Also, the aging society has become a big problem in China, which is only a developing country.
Baby formula is not the only product said to be contaminated; ice cream, milk, and yogurt have all proved to be at risk (Callick, 2008). Countries other than China affected include, Indonesia, Malaysia, Britain, and New Zealand (Wong, 2008). By handling the tainted milk crisis differently, the Chinese government could have saved thousands from becoming sick, could have kept the trust of their citizens, and the trust that other countries have in their products. This Crisis has caused the people of China to become nervous about the health of their babies, has caused anger towards the government and the dairy companies, and left Chinese citizens full of questions about the future health of their children affected by the tainted milk. Powdered milk is popular among Chinese mothers because the government health system tells them that their babies will grow up healthier drinking powdered milk rather than breast milk.
