India which had well under two-thirds of China’s population half a century ago is projected to surpass China by 200 million people around 2050. Acceptance of Nobel economic laureate, Amartya Sen’s view that development is freedom, the greater opportunities available to young women when fertility is reduced or delayed is itself a keep indicator of development success and population policy can help realize these goals. It is well know that as incomes rise, fertility falls since women experience an increase of opportunity cost for their time. The causality between fertility and economic growth runs in both directions. China’s rapid economic growth since the early 1980’s can be attributed to its lower fertility rate.

In the last few years, the American Century seems to be declining. The recession that started in 2007 is undermining American hyper power status. The rise of China’s political and economic status is crucial towards the global economy and its correlation with the U.S’s debt ceiling. When Henry Luce first coined the phrase “The American Century”, he had envisioned the United States being the global leader who would spread democracy and become the world’s strongest economy.

Immigrants from China built the Transcontinental Railroad, which brought our country together by connecting the East and West. Many have become scientists or engineers and have created numerous ideas and inventions to make our lives better. Immigration is the largest factor contributing to population growth and contributes over 2.25 million people to the U.S. population annually. (Elbel) The chart shows the U.S. has traditionally allowed relatively small numbers to immigrate, thus allowing for decades of assimilation. After the peak of about 8.7 million in the first decade of the 20th century, numbers went steadily down.

However, China’s higher economic power over other nations lifted hundreds of millions of people from deep poverty and has helped improve health, education, and other social standards. According to the 2013 World Bank’s world developing indicators, China is listed among the Upper-Middle Income Countries (UMC) (Todaro and Smith, 2015, p. 43). Unlike China, the traditional mercantilists held almost all their nationals in abject poverty with an exception of the royalty, merchant capitalists, landlords and senior government officials (Brue and Grant, 2013, p. 18). The Heckscher-Ohlin factor proportions theory states that countries produce and export goods that require resources (factors) that are abundant and import goods that require resources in short supply (Wild and Wild, 2012, p. 140). China is labour abundant, influencing the cost of labour thereby attracting investment and economic
