The Economic Booms Of China's And Should The West
Compare and contrast the economic booms of China and India’s and should the west consider this as a threat

It has been well known that China and India are having an economic boom whilst the west is in a recession. The question is whether China and India are going to slip into a recession as their rate of growth is thought to be “unhealthy”, this would put the western countries back into recession which is a very worrying prospect for a slowly recovering western world. China’s GDP (growth domestic product) is now over $4,211 billion a growth from $53 billion in 1978.
China is between a LEDC and a MEDC and is growing at a extremely fast rate which is thought to be “unhealthy”. China’s main port (which there are 200 of) are growing at a huge

    As of 2014, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rankings of China and India were #2 and #10, respectively, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) world economic outlook. The United States is currently ranked as #1. According to the same study, when GDP was based on Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), China was ranked at #1 and India at #3, with the U.S. ranked at #2 (Kolesnikov, 2014).

I believe that the theories of "absolute advantage" and "government policy" can show how China and India have risen in recent history.…

    Since the early stages of the 1940 America has risen to power and stayed in power. To date America is considered the only true world super power. In the past the Roman Empire, Greek and Egyptian were all very dominating but even then there were challenging dynasty so they can’t be called a ‘super power’. In today’s society the world has two more economies forcing their way to the top, these two economies are China’s and India’s. The question being answered in this essay is: ‘does the rise of developing countries like China and India pose a serious challenge to US power?’ I believe yes, mainly because for so long the world has revolved around the American economy and with the rise of these two countries America will gradually start to lose its power. This essay will also address both China’s and India’s relatively quick rise to power over the last 25 years.…

    China’s influence in the world economy was minimal until the late 1980’s but we are now seeing China being one of the most independent countries and leading the manufacturing producing market. China started with a fragile economy with minimal infrastructure from frequent revolutions and invasions in 1949. In the early 1980’s, China’s economy was still extremely weak as a result of its inward looking government system of a socialist planned economy under the Mao government. This resulted in living standards below world averages and economic growth at nearly zero. China has risen from the edge of economic obscurity to lead the world in terms of economic growth, and this is done is just over a quarter of a decade. The People’s Republic of China has transformed from a planned economy into a socialist market economy and is now the world’s second largest economy to the USA being number one, by nominal GDP at $7.3 trillion and by purchasing power parity (PPP). “Pay attention to what’s going on in China. “ – Jeff Mbanga – The Observer.…

    The economy of China in the 21st century has considerably raised, being second place in the world. One reason is that the factories have increased their construction and manufacturing activity, which is stabling the economy. Retail is also developing, escalating from 10.2% to 10.6% in one month. These improvements are not only causing cities to thrive, but more projects in China are being established. This is a result of stronger government spending.

By the end of 2008, China has reached a population of almost 1.35billion (excluding the population of Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions and Taiwan Province), accounting for about 21% of the world’s population.

    China’s second problem is finding a way to feed its growing population. China faces a vicious cycle of starvation, which leads to illnesses in future mothers, resulting in birth defects. China is making great strides in resolving this issue, but the awful memory of the Great Famine still lingers in their minds. The Great Chinese Famine totaled 15-30 million deaths in the years from 1958 to 1962. As a side note, pollution also plays a huge part in causing birth defects. China’s main energy source is coal, since China sits on an abundant amount of it. However, coal as an energy source has consequential byproducts as a pollutant. Major industrial cities require…

    China has consistently been the most rapidly growing economy on earth sustaining an average annual growth rate of 10% from 1978 to 2005, according to official statistics. (Naughton) China is the most populous country in the world: its population surpassed 1.3 billion people in 2004 despite a declining birthrate. Rapid growth and huge population have implied that China would eventually emerge into the front ranks of world economies (Naughton).
