Thanks to Chimerica, US corporate profits in 2006 rose by the same proportion above their average share of GDP.” Basically the more China was willing to lend to the United States, the more Americans were willing to borrow.

It was the underlying cause of the hedge fund population explosion. It was the underlying reason why the US mortgage market was so awash with cash in 2006 that you could get a 100 per cent mortgage with no income, no job or
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. The American Century built a completely new era of economic order.
The "gamble" is that cities might be empty now, but they will be filled up later, an argument Stephen Roach has previously made. While some argue that this is symptomatic of a massive property bubble in China, this really shows the presence on individual property bubbles across China.” A news from Business Insider. (Mamta Badkar, 2013) Introduction “Some statistics over that ten year period are well known: China became the world's second largest economy and the world's largest goods exporter. But such statistics greatly underestimate the scale of China's economic achievement. The last 10 years in China's economy may be summed up in two overwhelming facts which place all other economic data in context.”(John Ross, 2012).
Cycles of Silver In the article “Cycles of Silver” by Dennis o. Flynn and Arturo Giraldez the thesis was that by the 16th century, there was global trade as reflected by the silver cycles. The essay focuses on two significant cycles of the evolution of the silver market, the Potosi/Japan Cycle and the Mexican Cycle. One of the main points of the essay was that China was the primary end-market for world silver during several centuries. In the early 16th century China's monetary and fiscal systems to a silver standard led to a doubling in the value of silver in China vis-à-vis the rest of the world. Profit opportunities encouraged a surge in silver production in Spanish America and Japan.

Essay Title: Asian Miracle: Compare the economic development of China with that of one other state in east or Southeast Asia and discuss the simulates and differences in their economic development. Name: Ross Fehily Student Number: 107621124 Date of Submission: December 20 2011 Word Count: 2,924 This essay will discuss the modern economic development of the People’s Republic of China and that of the Republic of Singapore. Both nations have experienced a great increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) throughout the latter half of the twentieth century, and subsequently lifted them from the realms of poverty stricken to the levels of developed and middle income societies. The essay will look at what factors are common to both countries and those that are different and how they were applied in both China and Singapore’s path to economic development. It will crucially examine the role of the governments in these nations and policies pursued by their respective governance and how they contrast with each other.
MAIN POINTS: * Size and rapid growth of China, represent a challenge to establish global order * This clashes with existing assertiveness * The dynamics and future impacts of these power shifts are far from clear understanding and aren’t determined * The thirty years since China launched its policies of reform and opening could be described as the period during which the country has gradually become integrated into the world economy. * China has experienced the most rapid growth of any emerging economy, such that its demands on external resources and markets have reached considerable proportions * As a country that have actively taken part in and reaped the benefits of economic globalization, China has gained new awareness from the world’s existing political and economic structure and has experienced the process of gradually altered itself to this framework. * There was the unsuccessful pro-democracy movement that was suppressed by force in 1989. * Destabilising influences of other revolutions indicates the nation remaining wary of any significant change should it happen. * The ‘bounce back’ in Asian economies saw impressive growth opportunities in China during the 2008 Financial crisis *
The economics of China have been growing rapidly since the reform and opening up in 1978. Between 1978 and 2005, China's per capita GDP had grown from $153 to $1284, that is more than 8 folds increment. This economic reform has increased inequality in China dramatically. To large extent I agree the rapid economics development of china has been more of a threat than an opportunity for China’s traditional culture. Culture is made up of 3 major components; these include material aspect, which is more physical, such as buildings and architecture.
Cross-cultural challenges when doing business in China. By Zigang, Zhang Publication: Singapore Management Review Date: Thursday, January 1 2004 Subject: Cultural relativism, American culture (Comparative analysis), Chinese culture (Comparative analysis) Location: China Abstract With the globalization of world business, China has become an appealing market for foreign investors. The problem of cross-cultural management arises as the cooperation between China and its culturally different Western partners continues to increase at an unprecedented rate. This paper presents an understanding on the general cultural differences between America and China by applying the cultural dimensions of Hofstede and Bond. It also discusses the impact of these cultural differences on their management practice from five aspects: cooperative strategies, conflict management, decision-making, work-group characteristics, and motivation systems.
