The impact of the global financial crisis on Chinese economy In the past two decades, China has enjoyed the one of the world’s fastest growing speeds. And for right now, China has been the most major contributor to the world economic growth. But in the recent years, the global financial crisis already did a huge damage to the Chinese growing economy. Especially in the aspect of exporting sector, China has been hit hardly by this crisis. The dramatic fall of external demand led to dramatic slowdown of the economy, and tens of millions of worker in the factor was laid-off during the crisis. Considering to Chinese government, it is critical for them to keep a stable growth which is viewed as the way to maintaining social stability. Because China, right now, is the major economic power in the world, and holding extremely huge amount of foreign exchange reserves, it is important to care about Chinese economy situation. This literature review is designed to cover the recent research paper focus on the topic of the global financial crisis and how it influence Chinese economy. The correlation of GDP growth between China and G-3 economies Ligang Liu (2009) used the method of correlation analysis to illustrate the correlation between China and G-3 Economies, from 1981 to 2008. As he mentioned, trade and foreign direct investment are two important sources of economic growth in China. G-3 economies are not only important sources of capital inflows to China but also important markets for China’s exports. In 2008, the trade between China and G-3 took about 50 percentage of the Chinese total exports. This number indicates that Chinese economy and G-3 economy have a strong interdependency relationship.

The financial crisis of 2007–2008 is considered by many economists the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. This crisis resulted in the threat of total collapse of large financial institutions, the bailout of banks by national governments, and downturns in stock markets around the world. The crisis led to a series of events including: the 2008–2012 global recessions and the European sovereign-debt crisis. The reasons of this financial crisis are argued by economists. The performance of the Federal Reserve becomes a focal point in this argument.

Globalization has caused the world to change. Our country, China has been dramatically changed by globalization. Our people have moved to cities, and our industry has exploded. We have had huge advances in technology along with education improvement. Despite the fact that China has changed so much, there are still many issues that plague it. China faces serious environmental concerns. New diseases and viruses that are not indigenous to China can cause a wide range of sickness in the new area. Despite some of the the improvements in China that are a result of globalization, the negatives that globalization has brought to China are more than the benefits.
China's continuing impact on the world economy lands in developed countries that include Hong Kong, Europe, Japan, and Australia have no choice but to deal with the very real potential of a decline in export activities. However, what offsets these negative are lower commodity and oil prices, along with lower interest rates, which provide hope of a boost in the global financial world.

Despite the fact that recent reports have shown that the Chinese currency is currently facing descending pressures, it is, however, likely to improve in the future because of the enhanced terms of trade, current account surplus that is growing, and high net saving. Another reason that will make the Chinese RMB to do well in the future it is because the currency has solid fundamentals and the economy of the country is significantly increasing at a higher rate than the GDP rates. Due to the growing Chinese economy to being the second largest economy, the Chinese currency yuan has been acknowledged by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as a major global

The impact of globalisation on the Chinese economy can be seen through the increase in economic performance. Over the last two decades, the Chinese economy has experienced significant economic growth due to globalisation. Globalisation is responsible for reducing the barriers to trade and increasing the integration between different countries and economies. The reduction of trade barriers as well as the increased integration between different countries and economies resulted in an increase in foreign investment and international trading which leads to economic growth. China has experienced significant increases in international trading and investment flows. This is supported by the world bank which states that in 2010, China contributed 13.6% to global growth and was responsible for approximately 9.4% of W...

The United States and China share the most imbalanced bilateral trade relationship in the world. The United States imports more goods from China than it exports to a tune of $202 billion dollars each year. All told, China alone accounts for nearly 26% of the United States' $725.8 billion trade deficit. “Increasingly, this imbalance has been the subject of a major political backlash within the U.S. congress, where some have charged that the US is destroying its industrial base to support a communist country's industrialization." http://worldnews.about.com/od/china/a/china_trade.htm
When the new Chinese Government was set up in 1949, the new government faced a lot of problems. First on their agenda was how to re-build the country. As Communist Party of China (CPC) is a socialist party, their policies at the time were similar to that of the Soviet Union’s. Consequently, the CPC used a centrally planned strategy as its economic strategy when it first began. For a long time, the Chinese economy was a centrally planned economy in which none other than the state owned all companies. In fact, there were absolutely no entrepreneurs. As time went on, the problems of a centrally planned economy started to appear, such as low productivity, which was the key reason for restricting the development of China. With the population growing, the limitations of the centrally planned economy were clear. In 1978 China started its economic reform whose goal was to generate sufficient surplus value to finance the modernization of the Chinese economy. In the beginning, in the late 1970s and early 19...
Finally, the United States political system has a strong structural structure but in China their people always work together to be the best and stand out in the world. It is predicted that China will one day be the largest economy-growing country in the world. They continually grow and rebalance their world to be the best. The growth of the economy will depend on the Chinese government's comprehensive economic reforms that more quickly accelerate China's transition to a free market economy. Consumer demand, rather than exporting, is the main engine of economic growth; boost productivity and innovation; address growing income disparities; and enhance environmental protection.

China’s economical strength comes from its international trades as the economy has grown to a rate of 10.3% in 2010. It has become the world’s largest exporter in the global economy. In the area of trade, three major strengths of China are 1) it is the single most important challenge for the European Union (EU) trade policy, 2) China is the second trade partner behind the U.S., and 3) it is the EU’s biggest source of imports by far with the dramatic increase in the EU-China trades over the recent years. The EU exports of goods to China were 113.1 billion Euros and in imports was 281.9 billion Euros in 2010. The service exports were 18 billion Euros and in imports were 13 billion Euros in 2009. China has also established trades with Australia. Recently, the two countries have been cooperating and assisting each other in industries such as agriculture, energy and minerals as they continue their free trade agreements (Jia Qinglin).
