Essay on India China Economic Growth

The early civilizations of China and India emerged prior to 600 CE in what is known today as the continent of Asia. With the Himalayan mountains in between them, these civilizations developed in isolation from one another, and yet still managed to produce kingdoms with continuous growing populations to this day. Individual growth and development amongst the people stimulated technological inventions, increased the chances of survival and lead to: greater agricultural production, strong armies, and expansion. Eventually, these commodities and other luxury items produced will be traded, spurring the economic growth of both civilizations. Overall, these early stages of development not only furthered contact amongst these two great empires allowing for cultural diffusion, but also set the foundation for future generations to follow. Although China and India’s growing empires took place in different parts of the world, the structure of their economies developed similarly, beginning with an agricultural infrastructure and progressing towards trade within and beyond the kingdoms, while also acquiring distinctive cultural differences overtime such as a social hierarchy defined by certain beliefs. These characteristics will define the beginning and the advancement of early economic systems used during the Foundations Era and Classical Age, and provides insight on the essentials that influenced the two economic

It is this that has sparked China’s vulnerability to external shocks. In 2011, China’s exports amassed almost $2 trillion, however in Feb 2012, China recorded a $31.5 billion trade deficit as a result of the European sovereign debt crisis in which China’s main trading partners plunged into recession. China’s severe BOGS decrease is an attempt to control growth and a sustained level of 7.5%. Investment policies are also critical for China to achieve economic growth and development. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in China is being sought primarily in the redesign of State Owned Enterprises (SOE’s) and in the development of interior provinces. Between 75-80% of World Bank loans to China in 2008 were directed to the central and western regions, the most economically disadvantaged. This promotes increased wealth within China, leading to higher levels of development due to a more positive Human Development Index (HDI), which currently sits at 0.687, up from 0.677 in 2010. Thus, trade and investment are critical factors in ensuring that China’s growth remains sustained at 7.5% whilst still encouraging increases in development.

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

India and China are two examples of developing countries that have most of their population in poverty: 171 million households in India, 286 million households in China, but with the same access as everyone else, they can earn a decent living. Combine the annual income of the two, and it reaches over $1 trillion. It is up to the private sector to tap into this market. However, traditional methods will not work.

The author examines the proposition by Larry Summers, the United States Treasury Secretary, on the economic approach presented by China and India in regard to the next decade. Larry Summers observes that there is no certain growth in China, thus he urges people to deviate from the reliance on the predictions of sudden growth in Communist China, using what they term as Asiaphoria (WSJ). The most significant and acknowledged fact on cross national growth is the regression of data in relation to the mean. The authors argue that the evidence of continuous national growth in a period of a decade does not present a guarantee for continued growth. On the contrary, quick national growth has been noted to lead to a slump in the rate of economic growth.

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.

Although Chinas outputs are hugely beneficial for the rest of the world’s economy its demands for raw materials is huge and it is a large environmental effect. However, despite the fact that china has a large demand for raw materials the domestic consumption is very low so as a country Chinas has a high national saving rate and can therefore make more oversea investments.

Currently, economic world are more dynamic. Many developed countries such as European Union, US, and Japan as the largest economic are going to be overtaken by developing countries, particularly BRIC. BRIC stands for Brazil, Russia, India, and China. Those countries are growing rapidly and making contribution to the world economy as Goldman Sachs (2010) said, “Between 2000 and 2008, the BRICs contributed almost 30% to global growth in US Dollar terms, compared with around 16% in the previous decade”. Furthermore, even Goldman Sachs predicted in 2050 the BRIC could account for almost 50% of global equity markets. This essay will compare and evaluate critically economic growth prospect of China and Brazil as two BRIC countries in the context

China’s foreign reserves are on the increase as well since the year 2002. In 2007, it has the world’s greatest amount of foreign reserves amounting up to $1528 billion US dollars, exceeding the next largest holder, Japan. Official sources elaborate that US dollar holdings comprise of 60% of the reserves. This means that the US has a very large chunk of it reserves and therefore would not want China to declare itself bust any time soon. By 2050, it is also estimated that China will overtake the US and become the largest economy on the planet and will therefore be the largest superpower along with

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

Rare are the moments in history when a nation suddenly captures the imagination of the world. For India, those rare moments have arrived. The country is achieving a high economic growth of over 8 per cent of its GDP annually, on a consistent basis.

Ever since the initiations market reforms in 1978, China has over time turned from the common central-planned economy to market based economy contributing to it experiencing rapid economic as well as social development. China’s GDP growth index averaging close to ten percent annually has promoted 500 million and above people out of abject poverty. Recent reports suggests that China has realized almost all of its Millennium Development Goals or at within realization. The state’s population has hit 1.3 billion making it the second biggest economy and is progressively playing a significant and prominent role in the world’s economy. A keen interest into China’s economy along with the political impacts on its economy will be the focus of this paper.

Different from focusing on how to increase the growth rate in the long run, this study focuses on how to increase the output level in the short and medium run. In the National People’s Congress Press Conference in March of 2007, China’s Premier Wen Jiabao argues that the biggest problem with China’s economy is that the growth is unstable, unbalanced, uncoordinated, and unsustainable. Based on the fact that the current ratio of consumption over output in China is much smaller than that of other countries, such as Japan and the United States, a higher ratio will increase China’s real GDP level in the short run. Since the short run real GDP is larger than before, a higher ratio of consumption will increase China’s economic growth rate

From April to June 2005, India’s GDP grew at 8.1 per cent, compared with 7.6 per cent in the same period the year before. More impressively, India is achieving this result with just half of China’s level of domestic investment in new factories and equipment, and only 10 per cent of China’s foreign direct investment…

Economic growth is a necessary but not sufficient condition of economic development. There is no single definition that encompasses all the aspects of economic development. The most comprehensive definition perhaps of economic development is the one given by Todaro: ‘Development is not purely an economic phenomenon but rather a multi – dimensional process involving reorganization and re orientation of the entire economic and social system. Development is a process of improving the quality of all human lives with three equally important aspects. These are: 1.
