EGT1 -Economics and Global Business Task 4 Introduction China is the world’s leading nation in terms of population measure. As of the year 1990, the country had a population of 1,133,682,501 people. This has recorded continued growth of approximately 15 million people annually since then. Therefore, their government has placed a considerable amount of effort in ensuring that the Chinese population lives a better life. However, the process of ensuring this size of a population has a decent and high standard of living has posed a big challenge.
These ethnic groups can be considered minorities. Whereas the percentage of Native Americans has increased slightly, the number of Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander has halved.

While Richard Milhous Nixon is seen as the worst president in the history of the United States of America, many people and historians also believe he did “one thing right.” That “one thing”0 would be his trip to China or as Richard Nixon himself referred to it -“the week that changed the world”0 However did it really change the world? Or was it just a political move made by the Nixon administration in an election year? Though the visit to China did help in opening up trade and communication, it was useless for President Nixon to personally go to China, and was not a history changing event like it was portrayed. In the year of 1971 it was revealed that a top secret meeting was held in China between America’s top foreign relations officer -Henry
e. reliance on the dollar as a stable international currency. 4. The Nixon Doctrine proclaimed that the United States would a. honor its existing defense commitment, but that in the future its allies would have to fight their own wars without large numbers of American troops. b. supply only economic aid to its allies. c. seek detente with the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China.

In India, however, there was no social mobility due to their religion of Hinduism.
The second outcome of the revolutions was that the countries were dramatically changed, two great powers were stopped and communist leaders eventually took over in the two countries. Russia and China both shared similar goals in that they both wanted a new form of government and leadership. Russia’s ruler was Tsar Nicholas II which ruled Russia for more than three centuries. China’s ruling dynasty was the Qing Dynasty. Tsar Nicholas II wasn’t much of a good ruler for Russia; he ignored the fact that Russia wasn’t doing so good and overlooked the industrialization and nationalism that was occurring throughout Russia.

Chinese savings kept down US interest rates. Chinese labor kept down US wage costs. As a result, it was remarkably cheap to borrow money and remarkably profitable to run a corporation. Thanks to Chimerica, global real interest rates...sank by more than a third below their average over the past fifteen years. 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.
When comparing Matteo Ricci’s characterization of the Chinese people to Sepúlveda’s and Las Casas’ earlier characterizations of the Native Americans, there are many differences. However, there are some similarities between Ricci and Las Casas' views. Ricci characterizes the Chinese as being a highly intelligent people just as Las Casas' describes the Native Americans.

The order granted federal employees the right to join, or not to join, labor unions and to collectively bargain. These new rights, however, were not as extensive as those of private employees. For instance, federal employees could not negotiate over wages and were prohibited from striking. Additionally, an agency could require that employees negotiate over a collective bargaining agreement only during non-official time. In 1969, President Richard Nixon issued Executive Order 11491, which further developed the framework of federal labor-management relations.
