The Impact of China's Modern Foreign Policies on Economic Growth
Recent Chinese economic policies have shot the country into the world
economy at full speed. As testimony of this, China's gross domestic product has
risen to seventh in the world, and its economy is growing at over nine percent
per year (econ-gen 1). Starting in 1979, the Chinese have implemented numerous
economic and political tactics to open the Chinese marketplace to the rest of
the world. Just a few areas China's government is addressing are agricultural
technology, the medical market, and infrastructures, like telecommunications,
transportation and the construction industry. Chinese reform measures even
anticipated the rush of foreign investment by opening newly expanded industries
to out-of-country investors. Effects of this sudden change in economic strategy
by a world power can be felt by practically every nation of the globe involved
in international trade. The change in the amount of imports and exports to and
from China will increase the demand on countless markets, from automobile, to
petrochemical, to pharmaceuticals, and optical fiber. Also, with all the
foreign investment China is receiving, the socialistic republic will only grow
more and more interdependent upon the world economy. However, the impressive
growth rate of China's economy is not without its shortcomings. Problems such
as inflation and inefficient state-owned enterprises plague the rise of the
Chinese economy.
The main goal for China's modern foreign policies is the development of
the Chinese infrastructure. The significance of improved communication and
transportation cannot be over-stressed. Economically, enhanced means of
communication and transportation allows more expedient supply and demand
scheduling. Two of the latest Chinese reform measures to aid in the development
of the country are the Provisional Regulations on Direction Guide to Foreign
Investment and the Catalogue Guiding Foreign investment in China. Both these
policies place specific industries including telecommunications, machinery, and
electronics on top priority. Funding for these projects come from foreign
investments and appropriations from the Chinese government in the form of grant
financing, and legislative or administrative support.
Yet another example of the Chinese emphasis on industrial b...

renovation of Chinese trade policies. Reform measures in the country range from
reduced trade barriers and technical contracts for agriculture, to
infrastructure investment policies and improved standards for pharmaceutical
products. However, stemming from China's economic growth are dilemmas such as
inflation and uneven development of the country.
On a planetary scale, the effects of China's Open-Door policies are best
understood through graphical representation. One should graph the supply of Chinese goods and services and demand for Chinese products by other countries. As Chinese policies are placed in effect the supply curve shifts to the right because of improved quality standards and higher production capabilities. Open-Door policies also indirectly increase the demand for Chinese goods and services due increased Chinese competitiveness on foreign markets.

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.

In States vs. Markets, Herman Schwartz presents two economic development strategies that have been employed by late industrial developers in order to either take advantage of existing comparative advantages or facilitate rapid industrial growth through state intervention and provision in order to gain a competitive foothold in world markets. Schwartz demonstrates how China was able to employ elements of these development strategies to generate capital from an abundant rural labour supply in order to pursue industrial development and attract foreign investment through economic reform starting in the late 1970's.

However, the impact it has made on China can be considered to be great as it brought China under the limelight in the global economy. Globalization has had many positive and negative ramifications on the Chinese economy. In the short run, it may be so that the negative impacts outweigh the positive impacts, but that is easily debatable. This is because all the negative impacts of globalization can be corrected with economic policies that can be efficiently undertaken by the Chinese government. In this manner, China in overall will be able to enjoy all the benefits of globalization and contribute more to the rest of the world as it continues to grow economically and socially. In today’s world, globalization is an important part of the development and prosperity of each nation and China too should be able to reap from its benefits. Today, as China proudly holds a place in the global economy as the world’s second largest economy and most populated country in the world, it can be said
The establishment of global empires greatly impacted the world as imperial powers tightened links between civilizations worldwide. Imperialism not only brought people together but it put divisions between them as well through the use of powerful tools and deadly weapons.
From the 1970s, there has been a wave of liberalization in China, which was introduced by Deng Xiaoping. This is one of the key reasons to the rise of China to be one of the economic giants in the world. In the last 25 years of the century, the Chinese economy has had massive economic growth, which has been 9.5 percent on a yearly basis. This has been of great significance of the country since it quadrupled the gross domestic product (GDP) of the country thus leading to saving of 400 million of their citizens from the threats of poverty. In the late 1970s, China was ranked twentieth in terms of trade volumes in the whole world as well as being predicted to be the world’s top nation concerning trading activities (Kaplan, 53). This further predicted the country to record the highest GDP growth in the whole world.
Because of this, there is an increase in the inflow of foreign investment. Its ability to mass-produced and cheap labor, has led “more automakers and large suppliers to buy components there and export them to the United States and other operations throughout the world” (Kosdrosky). The combination of labor-intensive and capital-intensive industries have increased their economic efficiency and capacity of acquiring resources that contribute to their agricultural growth. This, of course, plays a major role in China’s rapid economic growth. It also has a great impact on China attitude toward technological advancement.
From the beginning of their establishment, the bilateral relations between the United States of America and China have changed throughout the time. The bilateral relations of the two countries emerged from 1970’s with the ‘Ping-Pong’ diplomacy and there have been many pauses in their mutual relations. The US and China enjoyed cooperation in economic and military spheres and the mutual relations grew massively during until the end of 1990’s. The heads of the two states began visiting each other’s countries and the economic ties were tightening year by year. However, the issues of human rights and free speech declined mutual Sino-American relations. The American principle of democracy promotion and human rights protection minimized the Sino- American relations after the Tiananmen Square events in 1989, the US Presidents-George Bush and Bill Clinton- playing a key role in determining the further American foreign policy towards China.
Its phenomenal success is because it developed some suitable public policies, which were the perfect fit for the situation in China. In the last few years, China has had a remarkable economic development and has come to play an increasingly significant role in our world economy.
China's Foreign Policy Since the initial warming of U.S.-China relations in the early 1970’s, policymakers have had difficulty balancing conflicting U.S. policy concerns in the People’s Republic of China. In the strange world of diplomacy between the two, nothing is predictable. From Nixon to Clinton, presidents have had to reconcile security and human rights concerns with the corporate desire for expanded economic relations between the two countries. Nixon established ties with Mao Zedong’s brutal regime in 1972. And today, Clinton’s administration is trying to influence China’s course from within a close economic and diplomatic relationship.

The growth of economy will depend on the Chinese government comprehensive economic reforms that more quickly accelerate in China transition to a free market economy.

The market price of a good is determined by both the supply and demand for it. In the world today supply and demand is perhaps one of the most fundamental principles that exists for economics and the backbone of a market economy. Supply is represented by how much the market can offer. The quantity supplied refers to the amount of a certain good that producers are willing to supply for a certain demand price. What determines this interconnection is how much of a good or service is supplied to the market or otherwise known as the supply relationship or supply schedule which is graphically represented by the supply curve. In demand the schedule is depicted graphically as the demand curve which represents the amount of goods that buyers are willing and able to purchase at various prices, assuming all other non-price factors remain the same. The demand curve is almost always represented as downwards-sloping, meaning that as price decreases, consumers will buy more of the good. Just as the supply curves reflect marginal cost curves, demand curves can be described as marginal utility curves. The main determinants of individual demand are the price of the good, level of income, personal tastes, the population, government policies, the price of substitute goods, and the price of complementary goods.
China has also expanded their trading industries with countries such as South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, ASEAN, India, Russia and Hong Kong. This has not satisfied the Chinese greed for income as they also export and import goods to American countries, name...
