China 's Economic Growth Is Unstable, Unbalanced, Uncoordinated, And Unsustainable

The Chinese president is looking to boost consumption and import as part of efforts to restructure its economy (Hu Looks to Boost China's Consumption, Imports, (April 15, 2011). The Chinese energy consumption has been predicted to soar to 68% higher than that of the USA by the year 2035(China, India to lead energy consumption, (September 20, 2011). Investment spending is also set to increase from $12,633 billion (2011, 48% of GDP) to $29,628 billion by 2030 (38% of GDP) (CHINA - Gross fixed investment (% of GDP) from 2011 to 2030, EIU Country Data). In 2006 China had a rating of 5.00 and was seen ranked at 101st in terms of the degree of economic freedom as measured

Since the reform and opening up, the economy of China grows significantly, as an emerging economy, China's economy has made tremendous contributions to the global economy, and Renminbi has become one of the most important currency in the world. According to the survey conducted by China National Bureau of Statistics found that from 1979 to 2012, China has attained an annual average growth rate of 9.8% for its national economy, while the annual average growth of the world economy is only 2.8 % during the same period. In past 30 years, China's GDP surpassed Japan’s, China became the world 's second largest economy, in addition, the huge total volume of trade makes China become the world 's largest trading nation. The contribution of China’s

The China Boom: Why China Will Not Rule the World, by Ho-fung Hung. New York: Columbia University Press, 2016.

It is known that China is extremely overpopulated with its 1,354,040,000 citizens as of January 2013 and “ as of September 2013, that number had grown even further to 1,360,720,000”. There’s “363.3 people per square mile!” (WPR). I’ve been interested in the future of our world and what will happen as we continue to grow. Knowing that “China represents 19.48 percent of the world’s total population” (China Employed Persons) helped me decide on which country I wanted to focus my report on.

For the past century, Chinese society has felt a compulsive desire to develop at breakneck speeds. In pursuing development, China’s primary goal has been to display its sophistication to the world, rather than to directly aid the welfare of its citizens. Following this hierarchy of objectives, China has continued to relentlessly modernize despite enormous negative consequences; the development powered through famine during the Great Leap Forward, violence during the Cultural Revolution, and economic dislocation during liberalization, accepting negative consequences as bearable burdens on the path to global renown. Ignoring these issues, China has proven itself more responsive to international views of modernity than to immediate national

Any political changes in a nation result in a decline of investor confidence resulting in the withdrawal of investments in the nation leading to economic recession. The article notes that only time will tell the ability of China’s president to implement the Deng Xiaoping economic-reform strategy. In a demonstration of hyperbole, the authors note that the future economic growth of China represents a “$42 trillion question”, which represents the difference in the GDP gains in 2033 if the nations continue to observe progressive economic growth, in comparison to the projected growth during the next 20 years considering the world’s average (WSJ). There is an increased struggle to attain the balance in regard to the middle income-gap trap.
There are warnings from different economies that have predicted a

Although the total size of China’s economy has grown at an astonishing pace, being the second largest economy in the world by now, its real GDP per capita does not tell the same story. China is still quite far behind most developed countries by this measure. The other problem facing both countries now is growing income

There have been recent concerns about the United States’ involvement with China’s economic rise. A concern about China’s growth surpassing the United States in economic size within the decade and regulating purchases of power. China’s economy grew in 1979 upon opening to foreign trade, investment and a free market. The increase of China's economy caused the gross domestic product to grow in 2016 by ten percent. China soon had the lead in being the largest economic manufacture, merchandise exporter and importer and holder of foreign exchange reserves. Their control as one of the largest economies encouraged the United States to have commercial ties with them. China's huge influence made it the United States’ second largest trading partner,

China’s sudden growth and rise to an economic superpower has affected the worldwide economy, the worldwide environment, and its own private industry in ways that may have longstanding effects for the future.

China has always been a country talked about whether it’s because of trade that the U.S. and other countries are involved in or how much they have grown as a country. You usually hear a story in the news about their growing power. China has become one of the top countries in the world ranked as #2 right behind the United States with a GDP of $10.4 trillion U.S. dollars as of 2014 and continues to rise. China has transformed itself to a manufacturing and exporting hub since they were a centrally closed economy in the 70’s and has grown over 7% in the past couple of years while continuing to grow. What makes China’s economy powerful? As you continue to read this research paper you’ll understand why and how China has grown with their economic, military, and political power.

The Peoples Republic of China’s economy is now the second largest in the world with an estimated gross domestic product of $9.24 trillion USD (China, 2014). This is the result of a strict economic reform policy put into place in 1978, which removed emphasis on the agricultural sector and moved to the energy intensive sector of manufacturing. The growing demand for energy often came in the form of highly polluting coal-fired power plants, but in 1992 the Three Gorges Dam was approved with construction beginning in 1994. The world’s largest dam was intended to produce power economically, reduce environmental impacts, and help to prevent floods downstream. However, the Three Gorges Dam is often seen as highly controversial due to foreseen and unforeseen problems that have arisen following its completion in 2012 (Jackson and Sleigh, 2000). The dam may be one of China’s largest environmental oversights and social failure in recent years.

China is the second largest economy in the world after the US. This is measured by both nominal GDP ($4.99 trillion), and by purchasing power ($8.77 trillion). The Peoples Republic of China, as it is officially called, is the world’s fastest growing major economy in the world with an average growth rate of 10% for the past 30 years. China is also the second largest trading nation in the world as well as being the largest exporter and second largest importer of goods.

For many years China has been the leading economic power in the world, even surpassing the United States. Recently, the country has been hanging onto that title despite its weakening economy. China’s economic growth has been declining due to job losses and lack of manufacturing. However, there have been numerous attempts to fix this problem. According to an article in the New York Times, China has created a new world bank — despite skepticism about that idea by other nations including the United States – in order to maintain its global and free economy. China has been trying to maintain a free economy, an idea that would not have worked or even been conceivable during the time China was a communist state. There were many attempts to try

Empirical data represented in Figure 1a & 1b shows the rapid change in China’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Consumer Price Index (CPI) that started from 1992 (Chen, Quan, & Liu, 2013). It has a relatively high average GDP growth of 10% per year over the last 30 years and its greatest increase occurred between 2001 and 2007 with an average of 11.6% (Malkiel, et al., 2008). This equates to a GDP growth increase of nearly

Can China continue to grow? China has been heavy on government capital spending and exports. China’s capital spending is usually under infrastructure such as: roads and bridges, and they have been doing some testing to see where 3D printing can help continue to drive the economy. China has been testing the use of 3D printing for houses and other infrastructure as a possible avenue to continue having capital spending as a powerful driver in the Chinese economy. Exports are another vast driver in the Chinese’s economy where mass production is a part of total exports. Future 3d printing can be seen as a strength with products that are custom and more complex. China is trying to move towards an economy driven by consumer spending. Fine-tuning an economy is very difficult. As you can see from the chart, Chinese growth has slowed down very significantly. Still the levels are higher than many other countries, but the slowdown is clear and the transition to that slow down can be seen as problematic. The blue line is related to the value of the yen and that has weakened in the last two years as well (Mitchell, 2015 para. 13). This has happened because China has allowed its currency to appreciate. That can be related to Chinese competiveness dropping for the last 2 years. This could have bad results for the Chinese economy.
