Economy of China

Nowadays, China has become the second largest economy in the world. The GDP (gross domestic product) of china was growing at 9.7% per year in average since 1978, which the year of Chinese “open door” politic founded. China also has become the biggest producer and consumer in many key agricultural and industrial markets and the largest FDI recipient among the developing countries. The performance of china in developing of economy is called “china’s economic miracle”, which be studied by many economists. However, there are also bad results with the development of economy in china such as environment disruption, corruption and

A small fire starting at a bakeshop engulfed a town in flames. What caused the fire to burn out of control was it the gale? In fact the gale was a contributing factor, however, there were other reasons why the fire raged out of control. Such as the dry, long, hot summer. The risk of fire was great in Stuart England, because of the lifestyle they lived during those days homes were built close together and were constructed them with wood and pitch. In addition, Tradesmen used large ovens therefore keeping supplies of fuel in their houses as well as the many inns had stables attached in which were filled with hay and straw. Indeed, building their homes close together and constructing them with wood and pitch surely played a hand in the destruction.

Several scientific and economical things contributed to the urban life in Song China. However, before the Song Dynasty could flourish as whole, the first Song emperor Song Taizu defeated warlords and consolidated Song control throughout China (Pg. 219). It can also be compared to the economy in present day china. Song China improved in science with these several inventions: Gunpowder, Paper Money + Credit, Trade, Fast ripening rice, and how urban life in Song China shapes today’s economy in china. These inventions led to the growth in economy and prosperity in urban china.

These effective strategies helped Hong Kong overcome the financial crisis. All these facts fully demonstrated that China is a responsible big country. After the Asia financial crisis, the importance of China's economy has been brought into focus; China's neighboring countries have begun to recognize the influence of the Renminbi.

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.

This essay aims to show the successful policies of Chinese government has used to increase the rate of economic growth from 1998 to 2006 and evaluate them. Economic growth rate is the percentage increase in output over a twelve-month period (Sloman, 2010: 562). From 2000 to 2007, China 's average growth rate was 9.2% in per year, and nearly 35% of world GDP growth (In term of PPP). As a big country, its population making up over one-fifth of the world 's population, but this rapid of growth is unprecedented (Fenby, 2008). Madison (1997) summarized the development history of the world economy of two hundred years, and considered that, in the long term, the big four factors determine the sustained high growth of output per person: technology、the accumulation of material capital、and accumulation of human capital.

Over the last few decades while China’s population growth rate has decreased, its GDP has increased. “China’s GDP per capita for the period 1952 to 2008 grew at an average annual rate of 5.58%.” (Yao) Furthermore, during the same time

In The Ethics of Special Education, Howe and Miramontes (2014) outline pressing issues facing special education and provide a framework for discussing ethical challenges. The authors present case studies around personal, institutional, and policy issues. Each case includes analyses and explanation by Howe and Miramontes that provide the reader with a more comprehensive understanding of the ethical issues. The intent of Howe and Miramontes (2014) is to raise the level of thinking about ethical issues and difficult decisions.

China is currently the 2nd largest economy in the world, trailing the us and set to overtake the us economy by 2024 according to the IMF. GDP of china has grown extensively over the past three decades and have contributed to large scale growth in exports and imports, technological advancements, health, and more. The acceleration of globalisation was due to two major advancements, the first was the economic reforms of 1978 when china ‘opened the country’ and the joining of the WTO in 2001. China is classified as a socialist economy currently being ruled by a communist government. China’s current growth rate for GDP is recorded as being 7.7% in 2013 and has continued to slowdown over recent years due to a global economic slowdown.

In 2014, what had been predicted numerous times throughout the past decade had finally occurred. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), China had overtook the United States (US) to become the world’s largest economy, with their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measured by way of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), where GDP is adjusted to accommodate the relative prices in each market, was estimated to be at $17.6 trillion compared to $17.4 trillion for the US (Fray 2014). This stood testament to the success of the economic reforms in the wake of the death of Chairman Mao Zedong, led by Deng Xiao Ping beginning in 1978, in revitalising the Chinese economy to the superpower status that it enjoys today (Zhu, Webber & Benson 2010, p. 9). However this measure of China’s economic success is but one side of the coin. According to China’s official poverty standard, poverty fell from 65% to 10% in 1981 to 2004 (World Bank 2009, pp. iii-v) and while this marked reduction is exceptional, the way these statistics are obtained reveals part of the problem. The Chinese government’s official poverty line is one of the lowest in the world and if poverty were to be measured by international standards, in 2005, China would have 254 million people under the US $1.25 poverty line set by the World Bank, the second largest number of poor in the world apart from India, compared to 15 million under official standards. This shows that while China’s tremendous economic growth is undeniable, its

At present china is the second largest economy in the world and there are many ideas that china is pushing its way to the top however recent forecasts have showed that china will not overtake the US until the year 2028 which is much later than expected, although china’s sudden rise in economic power within the past

China is confronting a serious inflation issue originating from the hot cash; the Chinese government might apply its socialist summon to proper control.

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.

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.
