How Did China Become An Industrialized Country

Part of China’s failure to have an Industrial Revolution caused by its labor-intensive system along with its attitude toward globalization. Because of the labor-intensive industries, China lacked the experience of institutional innovation and was unfitted for intensive technology development (Cohen, pg. 1534). During that time, China and England were the two strongest contenders in the competition toward becoming a global power. For many centuries, China’s massive market and capacity for manufacturing were exceptional. The continuous population increase urged its rulers to put an emphasis on developing efficient agricultural techniques and domestic trades. China’s ability to prosper was a phenomenon of that period. Its labor-intensive agricultural

Industrialization in China began in 1949 when the Communist party took power. Ever since, the rapid economic growth of China has overshadowed the violations of human rights. China is a very powerful country that has a direct relationship between its economic growth and human rights abuse. Although others may argue on the positive aspects of industrialization such as creation of wealth, in this paper I argue that the industrialization in China has done more harm than good because it has particularly led to extremely harsh labor conditions within the factory system.

Ancient China was a very successful country, it has created lots of history that we couldn’t forget. Ancient China is successful because of three main points, ordinarily, inventions have a huge impact on a country’s success, and Ancient China has created inventions thats very useful, we still use some inventions that were created during Ancient China. Ancient China got incredible good resources, they have the second longest river in the world that they could use to survive, resources makes Ancient Chinese created cultures thats unforgettable. Out of all, Invention, resources and cultures has made Ancient China become successful, Inventions help people in Ancient China have a better live.

Mark explains in Chapter 4 why the Europeans were able to industrialize and why China and India did not. He says the Europeans were heavily focused on trade, variety of specializations, and improved transportation. While the biological old regime and the particularities of China's situation was pushing it toward an increasingly labor-intensive agri-culture, rather than toward an industrial revolution. He explains that Europe’s coal and colonies propelled them. The author talks about India and how important it was around the 1700. India around 1700 was the largest exporter of cotton textiles in the world and supplied textiles not just to meet English demand, but throughout the world as well... and that India accounted for fully one quarter of

The development of China’s long-term care (LTC) is one of the major socio-economic challenges China faces, due to the elderly struggling with their pension, medical coverage, and China’s rapidly aging population. China has become an aging society combined with the market-driven reform of social services and rapid erosion of family support, the provision of affordable and accessible social care services to older people has already become an urgent issue for the government to address. (Wong & Leung, 2014) The development of (LTC) is a serious matter for the urban and rural residents of China. As of 2015, the number of China’s citizens aged over 65 years reached 144 million, and the current

China is a heavily populated place compared to the U.S. and other countries. It has been for many years and the population will not lower anytime soon. As a result of the rapid population growth during the 50s and 60s, China began their One-Child Policy in 1979 which led to forced abortions and the current low population growth.

Matt Rosenberg explains how one of the problems facing China in recent years is overpopulation. The Chinese government needed to make a policy to cope with the growing numbers of Chinese citizens.

In Susan Greenhalgh’s paper, “Missile science, Population science: The Origins of China’s one-child policy, China’s demographers believed that the future population growth for a one hundred year period between 1980 to 2080 was not sustainable (Greenhalgh, 2005). It was recorded that in 1950 that the rate of population growth in China was 1.9 percent each year ("BBC - GCSE Bitesize: Case study: China", 2014). In 1949 and for the next ten years, China saw a steady increase in the birth rate at a rate of approximately 2 percent. Whereas, the mortality rate saw a sharp decline at a rate of 3 to 5 percent over the next decade, starting from 1951 (Coale, 1983). These facts may not seem alarming,

One of the looming issues of the modern world is the aging population of nations and how to provide sufficient care for them once they retire. Today the aging population refers to the Baby Boomer Generation “defined as those born between 1945 and 1964. That would make the generation huge (71 million)1” In 2015 Baby Boomers are approximately 51-70 years of age. Both Japan and Australia are beginning to feel the effects of their respective aging Baby Boomer generations in society. 26% of the Japanese populations consists of Baby Boomers aged 65 and older. That would mean “there

China is a growing country; its population is about 1.4 billion, and as of 2014, the Chinese economy is the world’s second largest (in terms of nominal GDP,) totaling approximately US$10.380 trillion, with a growth rate of 7.4%, and the GDP per capita is US$3,619.4. From last century to this century, China has had significant improvements in their economic development. China had been in three major crises during the last century: the 20th century. The Fall of Qing Dynasty, World War II, and Civil War in China, all of them struck China in a destructive way. From the end of the 20th century, China was in a fast-developing mode.

I have chosen to analyze foreign-born Chinese, in the age group 16 to 64. This is the largest age group of the foreign-born Chinese, totaling nearly 2 million, 80.3% of this population, and slightly more female than male. This age group is known as the productive group, since they are the ones who generally pay for everything. Between the ages of 16 and 64, Chinese Americans are going to college, getting jobs, and starting families. It is also Chinese tradition that this age group care for the elderly age group 65+. Since this middle age group is so large, in twenty years from now we are going to have a lot of elderly Chinese people. The fact that people are living longer lives will also add to this population of old people. It is likely that there will be some complications in taking care of so many elderly people including primarily housing and

In 2017, the world population is at 7.5 billion people. China is the most populated country in whole world. It has “1.379 billion” (Google) people making it the largest populated country. China is also the most largest aging population making it have a high life expectancy and the high accelerating aging rate in the world (Zheng, 2012). China has advanced with technology and also with age. Only “three decades ago, only 5 percent of the populations was over 65; today, 123 million people, or 9 percent of the population, are over this age which a report released by the government states that China will be the world's’ most aged society in 2030” (Huang, 2013). Since, China is the most largest aging population this means that less people are dying and more are living. Since, more people are living this means that need of long-term care, health insurance, adjustment of policies and how to make everyone comfortable living. China is the only country that has an older population exceeding 100 million and annually increases at a rate of 3.2. A dependent territory of China is Hong kong that has “7.347 million people” (Google). Hong kong also has a fast growing aged population. Hong kong is also trying to adjust their long-term care system, pensions system and policies to accommodate everyone living situation.

However, better healthcare and protection from government result in rising age expectancy, which is a double-edged sword as on one hand, people live longer as shown in report (Friedland and Summer, 2005, Fig 1-2) and on the other hand, the proportion of aging population increases if the younger generation are not reproducing enough, and this is exactly the trend now in developed nations. In the

Since Thomas Malthus’s Essay on the Principle of Population, published in 1798, the exponential growth of population and the arithmetic growth of necessities like food production have haunted the subconscious of social scientists and demographers. However, places like China and the Soviet Union rejected Malthus’s ideas, often for historical and political reasons. In the middle of the twentieth century China faced a huge increase in population. Their solution was to create the now infamous One Child Policy. The government's main concern in both instituting the policy and later changing it to the Two Child Policy was protecting the economy from the burden of a fluctuating population. Although China has claimed the policy prevented around 400

After Chine revolution , Chinese economic have increase very fast , take GDP for a example,after economic revolution , about annual growth rate have keep or more than double-digit , this is very crazy. However ,according to the explain of Chinese economic efficiency point , we can know that Chinese also need to do a lot . For example ,such as view of energy efficiency , Chinese have the biggest population in the world (more than 1.5 billion) , however GDP just have 4% in the world in the 2004. But the Energy consumption per unit of production like triple developed country .This is meaning , after Chinese revolution about 20 years , even though China GDP have increased more than double- digit , but the economic quality and efficiency is unsatisfactory. After the revolution of Chinese economic, the rapid growth of GDP is just Chinese have paid too much energy costs and commitment too much risk about technical security. If we also computing some another resource like the costs that Chinese government have control the environment pollution . China 's economic growth rate is even lower .
