...The documentary: “China Revs Up” talks about the quick industrialization of China, and the problems that tag along such an aggressive industrial program in a short period. China once had over a billion poor people, but now it has the world’s fastest growing economy. China’s economy has been growing at an amazing rate of 8% per year for more than 20 years. While the economy is growing, the need for energy is growing at a faster rate. The documentary mentions that China could match the carbon emissions of the US projected by 2030. China’s energy is mainly supplied by coal, and 7 of the world’s 10 most polluted cities come from China. The major problems are due to overpopulation and present economic thinking, and also globalization. As documented in the film, The United States has set the benchmark for high living, high energy use. The US is one of the most consumptive countries in the world and China has really taken western consumerism as its model. Since the capitalist economic reform in China in the 1980s, the Chinese economy has been rising significantly, and the typical income has multiplied by 4 in the past 2 decade. People are leaving their traditions and their villages and farm lands to move to the city. As more and more shopping malls are build all over the country, and as a result energy consumption has risen drastically. China burned 25% more coal than the US in 2001.

...The Effects of the Reform and Opening-up Policy in China Chenqian Yu(Nina) IE204 Academic Writing III Eassy 2 03/10 The Effects of the Reform and Opening-up Policy in China China has gone through a rapid economic growth over the past three decades since the previous premier Deng Xiaoping who was a pioneer of “Socialism with Chinese characteristics” decided to reform and open to the outside world in around 1980. This is the turning-point of China’s economy and also the symbol of China entering a new era. Before this policy came out, China was a poor and backward self-sufficiency country like an isolated island in the world. The 30 years’ reform and opening-up has shifted China to an open market for the world and raised people’s living standards; meanwhile, it also caused the imbalances in China’s economy. One of the effects of this policy is that it transformed China from a self-contained economy into an open-market economy. Nowadays, the economic activities which take place in China are much more than before, so more and more multinational enterprises are coming to China, such as Adidas, Coca Cola, and Starbucks. In the meantime, according to Charles(2014), Chinese domestic companies increasingly began to invest across national borders and privatization has been more wide-spread. Before the policy was put forward, China is an autarkic country where people were not able to have multiple choices on products in the market. However, now international...

...interstate system and global economy. China would become exposed to Western imperialism, and such foreign aggression and encroachment epitomizes what the Chinese call the “Century of Humiliation” – the beginning of the period being attributed to this war. The question that is posed today is whether China could have avoided humiliation. I believe that the answer is no, and such an event was inevitable due to the irreconcilable cultural traditions of China and the West. Also see how tradition may have placed China at a disadvantage First, it is important to address the worldviews belonging to both China and the West. For China, their world was based upon the precepts of Confucianism, which preordained the natural order. Heaven was the source of all authority and men were subject to the will of heaven. The emperor received authority from heaven and has absolute power. The result is a natural hierarchic order that makes inequality a fundamental part of society, reflected by the kowtow (explain) which would be performed to one’s superiors. China applied these norms of internal society to the international, thereby claiming to be the central state and creating what is known as the Sino-centric international system, based upon the belief in their cultural superiority and claim to universal kingship. THose beyond its borders were looked down upon as barbarians. This creates a lack of intergovernmental relations. Instead, interaction between China and other units came through a system...

There are many specific goals that companies may be looking to achieve by dong this, but the main underlying reason is to guarantee the long-term sustained achievement of fast profitable growth for their business.

Consolidation occurs when two companies combine together to form a new enterprise altogether, and neither of the previous companies survives independently. Acquisitions are divided into "private" and "public" acquisitions, depending on whether the acquiree or merging company (also termed a target) is or is not listed on public stock markets.

I honestly had not thought about any country in Asia when giving my initial answer (perhaps because of the early Euro-centered education I received that we all discussed?). China was the center of the world in 1500 for many reasons: their population tripled, urbanization spiked, and productive capacity boomed.

Buick has either made cars for the U.S. market and distributed them to other countries or it has taken cars designed by GM for other markets (Opel in Europe, Holden in Australia) and relabeled them as Buicks.

GM is using Foreign Direct Investment route of setting up facility of manufacturing Buick vehicles in China where it has received overwhelmed response on having over million vehicles bought by Chinese consumers.

...fall of the Qing dynasty 1911-12? This essay will be looking at how much of a contribution the spread of revolutionary beliefs in China had in the fall of the Qing Dynasty. In order to determine the importance of this I will therefore also be looking at other factors such as, foreign interference, double tenth and the inability to change. I believe it is partially accurate to say that the spread of revolutionary beliefs was important in the downfall of the Qing Dynasty; however it wasn’t necessarily the most important factor. This can be determined from the effects of Sun Yatsen’s anti-government movement in China. Initially, the extreme need for revolution and reform stemmed from Cixi’s need and desire for conservatism. Her oblivious attitude towards the failure of the government angered many people and essentially gave reformers the ammunition to spread their own beliefs. As previously mentioned, Sun Yatsen was one of the people who felt strongly about changing the way things worked in China. He was particularly open minded and due to his education abroad had adopted a Westernized style of thinking. Thus, Yatsen attempted to modernise and regenerate China by removing foreign control and reasserting their unique character and greatness by forming the revolutionary alliance in 1905. Within this, his greatest belief was that the only way in which China would be able to modernise was if they became a republic, so his party formalised this concept as the “Three Principles of the People”...

...Buddhism in China DBQ Depending on the political stability, the responses to Buddhism in China were different. Between 220 CE and 570 CE, a time of political instability, most people had positive attitudes towards Buddhism, and after 570 CE, a time of political stability, most people had negative attitudes towards Buddhism. Most positive attitudes towards Buddhism occurred between 220 CE and 570 CE due to a need for a sense of salvation. According to Buddha, Buddhism is all about sorrow. Buddha believed that life was surrounded by sorrow, no matter what class in society a person was. He believed the basic teachings of Buddhism had to do with sorrow; what it is, where it comes from, and how to stop it. (Doc. 1) Zhi Dun, a Chinese scholar, author, and confidant of Chinese aristocrats, believed that people who served Buddha all throughout their lives would end up in Nirvana. The goals of Buddhism were to end up in Nirvana. Buddhism was very appealing during a time of instability like the Era of Division. (Doc 2) Also, according to an anonymous Chinese scholar, Confucius is not as good as Buddha. The scholar was very positive towards Buddhism. This was also in a time of political instability. (Doc 3) Zong Mi, a leading Buddhist scholar in the ninth century also believed Buddha taught well. Even though China was in a state of stability, he still had a positive attitude towards Buddhism. He believed that both Buddha and Confucius were good teachers. (Doc 5) However, most people...
