The rise in China from a poor, stagnant country to a major economic power within a time span of twenty-eight years is often described by analysts as one of the greatest success stories in these present times. With China receiving an increase in the amount of trade business from many countries around the world, they may soon be a major competitor to surpass the U.S. China became the second largest economy, last year, overtaking Japan which had held that position since 1968 (Gallup). China could become the world’s largest economy in decades.

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

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

Discuss the impact of globalisation on China, with reference to economic development and environmental consequences

The rapid economic growth trends demonstrated by China and India are currently at the height of debate amongst world leaders and economists. According to “Dancing with Giants: China, India, and the Global Economy”, edited by L. Alan Winters and Shadid Yusuf (2007), these countries are very unique in that their economic patterns of growth continue to increase and sustain momentum over an extended period of time while dealing with growing populations. The fact that these countries have illustrated a sustained pattern of growth means that they are beginning to, or have already shifted the balance of power within the global community; however, many scientists believe that this trend has shown negative side effects within the social and political settings because inequalities within both regions continue to rise. In Dancing with Giants: China, India, and the Global Economy (2007) the author states that, “Chinese and Indian authorities face important challenges in keeping their investment climate favorable, their inequalities levels at intervals that do not undermine growth, and their air and water quality at acceptable levels” (8). In a discussion, I will deconstruct the effects of China and India’s economic growth on social inequalities.

China’s exceptional economic growth could barely be suppressed in China’s borders. Although China was both a giver as well as a receiver of economical communication throughout Eurasia. One of China’s many effects of their economic transformation lay in the dispersal of its tegnological advancements to people and places as the migration of soldiers, merchants, traders, slaves, and pilgrams, carried their accomplishments internationally. China’s unique way of manufacturing salt by solar evaporation spread to Christian Europe as well as the Islamic world. Papermaking, which started during the Han Dynasty, spread to Vietnam and Korea by the 4th century, Japan and India in the 7th, etc. Both printing as well as papermaking were both heavily affected

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, the most populous country in the world, has experienced an abnormal growth rate in Gross Domestic Product over the past decades. However, facts and statistics indicate an economic growth slowdown of the Asian giant.

Most people are not aware that 75% of the world’s population lives on 5% of the world’s surface. Also, that 95% of Earth’s population is clustered into developing countries, such as China. China, being the world’s most populated state, would allow most people to think their growth rate would be the highest, but as of 2014, China’s growth rate is only at .45%, which is lower than that of France and the United States (Census Bureau 2014). Although growth rate can tell a lot about a state, there are many other ways to analyze a state’s population. For example, there is also the fertility rate, net migration rate, life expectancy, and the crude birth and death rates. All these statistics vary among different states, and all provide

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.
