“Communism is not love. Communism is a hammer in which we use to crush the enemy.” –Mao Zedong. This quote is saying that communism is a way to conquer your enemies. The People’s Republic of China shares many similarities with the Republic in the book Legend. They are both communist, militarily run nations, where the citizen’s rights are oppressed, and they are both totalitarian states. They both have authoritarian leadership, and they deny many of their people basic human rights. They both suppress their citizen’s freedom of expression, and imprison those who fight for it. These governments have very small middle classes, medium sized rich classes, and very large poor working classes. They

The first major misconception that I had was just what a Communist government means to today’s China. When Americans think of the term ‘Communism,’ the first things that spring to mind is oppression and fear; the concept of ‘red’ Communist ideals maintained by Joseph Stalin. While it’s true that China did once have this kind of government under Mao Zedong, the current system is quite different. The Communist Party is merely a party name, the same way Democrats and Republicans are in America. The difference is that China is only under the one party’s rule. The country

The Communist Party of China is based on ideology and politics, where the majority of policies are derived from the people’s will. The Communist party tends to be made up of high ranking officials in a tight net community with a lot of power. (Chinatoday Resources, 1997) This government is known for needing to be in control of everything including; education, media, and business to name a few. Recently the Chinese president has

A “Party-State” exists when the party and the state are interconnected within the state 's leadership, organizations, and society from the top down. Sujian Guo states in his book Chinese Politics in Comparative Communist Systems, “The existence of the party-state and the blending of the political and administrative functions is one of the distinctive characteristics of the communist system world wide” (Guo 9). These “Party-State Relations” occur in all communist countries. There are many key features of Party-State Relations. Firstly, the members of the controlling party (China Communist Party) have a key role in political decisions. The party holds major influence in major political appointments, promotions, and dismissals of the members of the legislature, the state administration, and the judiciary. This influence allows the party to maintain control over the goals and actions of the government and to ensure that they aligned with that of the controlling party. Another key feature of the Party-State relations is that the parties infiltration of the government allows them to make decisions in all of the state affairs and institutions because they are led by the party leaders. The Party-State has officials covering all areas of the government, such as; ministers, state presidents, presidents of parliament and judiciary, officers in the military, the police, etc. The number of positions held by party leaders creates a strong control over the different divisions of the

How far can the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 be considered the key turning point in the development of China in the years 1900-2000?

Even though, the future prospects for the economic growth of China are negative but the rapid growth of the People's Republic of China, in economic terms, since the reforms of 1978 is undeniable. Chinese economy has an average Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 9.37 per year. In addition to that, China has also become one of the major contributors in the world economy and has shown tremendous growth even in the times of recession as well. (Holz 2005)

In the past China was not to able sustain its own economic well being, let alone be an economic super power. The standard of living in China was so low, that something as simple as a light bulb was a luxury (Fogel, 2006). After the Cultural Revolution and Communism set in, China’s economic luck started to change. Between the years 1978 and 1998, a mere twenty years, China’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has grown an average of eight percent annually. The eight percent annual GDP growth has made China one of the fastest growing economies in the world (Fogel 2006).

Economic analysis 2006 and 2011. The five year benchmarks selected for this analysis do not well represent the fluctuations in the economy in the interim years, which have been substantial. Naturally, the fiscal crisis of 2008 to 2010 had deep and enduring impact on the national and global economies, but the "bookend" years of this analysis effectively obfuscate the volatility resident in those years. Fiscal year 2008, for instance, the inflation rate reached nearly 5%, the unemployment rate peaked in 2009, and the interest rate reached 5% in 2007. What this analysis does provide is a look at the stabilization of the economy without the noise of the intervening fiscal crisis. Through the monetary policy by The Fed during the fiscal crisis, efforts have been directed at maximizing employment and price stability. As a result, the interest rate will remain low with no changes anticipated until 2014. Inflation has stabilized, interest investments are low but gradually increasing, and the unemployment rate is slowly dropping but is not expected to accelerate.

Gross domestic product per capita is good for measuring the economical level of a nation directly (Bloom & Finlay 2009). With higher GDP per capita, the country will have stronger economic capability and purchasing power (Bloom & Finlay 2009). In this way, this paper will provide a weighting of 1.5 with GDP per capita within evaluation. Specifically, countries with higher GDP per capita in Asia-Pacific region will have stronger purchasing power of buying agricultural tractors from the U.S. As shown by Figure 2, GDP per capita of Asia-Pacific countries varies from each other largely. In particular, Australia, Japan and New Zealand are the countries with three highest GDP per capita. Based on this, Australia, Japan and New Zealand
