    Sitting close to the edge of being a “developing” and a “developed” country, China is a difficult country to define neatly. It is a country with an ancient and traditional culture trying to position itself higher within the international community. Plus it is also a communist country that has come to embrace its own form of capitalism to fuel its economy. China’s economic boon has been beneficial to many people within the country. But not to all people within China evenly.

  • Urbanization in China

    831 Words  | 2 Pages

    Urbanization (or urbanisation) is the increasing number of people that live in urban areas. Urbanization has been the result of economic growth for most countries. In fact, every developed nation in the world has gone through urbanization and this is no news to Chinese leaders. To turn the nation of China from being a developing nation to a developed nation, China encouraged the migration of citizens from the countryside to move to large cities and fuel the industrializing nation. Though urbanization has been a process many countries have gone through, China’s urbanization plans are very distinct compared to western examples. The main reason for China’s urbanization distinctions is its sheer magnitude and pace. In this paper, we will review this mass migration, the economic growth, China’s environmental concerns (specifically air pollution) due the urbanization and the focus on industrialization, and we will briefly see China’s newest seven year urbanization plan.

  • China’s Rising Inequality

    2192 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Chinese Hukou system, which limits people to work and live where they have been born and officially registered, can account for being responsible for a range of inequalities that are faced by the Chinese citizens, such as income, employment, education, and welfare and health. The Hukou seems to help these inequalities widen, as it treats those with a rural hukou as second class citizens. Afridi, Li, and Ren find in their 2012 Discussion Paper that the individual status that is linked with the Hukou that citizen possesses has a significant impact on their social identity. The rural-urban divide that is seen “in China is administratively created to control spatial labor mobility and reinforced through merely decades of differential treatment of rural-urban residents” (Afridi, et al, ...

    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.

  • China: Then and Now

    2370 Words  | 5 Pages

    However in the later years of the Chinese empire, dynasties began to shift towards selecting government officials based upon their merit. From the Sui Dynasty in 581 to the end of the dynastic system around 1911, government officials were chosen based upon their abilities and characteristics, rather than their lineage.3 The selection process, known as the civil exams, insured that qualified citizens would run the country. The civil exams were extremely difficult and were governed by tight quotas and highly specific and invariable material. Even though the tight restrictions insured that the participants were highly qualified, it also had a negative effect. It inhibited the growth of knowledge amongst the selected officials, also known as the scholar gentry.4 The intricacies and implications of this system will be discussed in detail later in this essay.

  • Democracy in China

    3306 Words  | 7 Pages

    The topic of democracy in China is a highly controversial topic. Although China has not democratised, it has done well in the global situation amongst its democratic competitors. Since the path to democracy is different for each country, we cannot expect that China would follow the same path or same model of democracy as the western nations. This essay will look at what democracy is and how it can be placed in a Chinese context as well as looking at the proponents and opponents of democracy in China. It will also look at whether China is democratising by focusing on village elections, globalisation and the emergence of a civil society. These specific topics were chosen because they will help provide good evidence and arguments to the topic of democratisation in China. The main argument in this essay will be that although China is implementing some changes that can be seen as the beginning of a road to democracy, there contribution should not be over estimated. China still has a long way to go before it can be considered that it is democratising. The small changes are good but China still has a long road ahead of itself to achieve democracy.

    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.

  • Ghost Town Essay

    1793 Words  | 4 Pages

    The concept of “Ghost town” has been a major issue of concern and debate amongst many countries around the world in today’s society. A “ghost town” is generally referred to a town, city or village that has been abandoned. A town often becomes abandoned due to the towns down turn in economic activity, natural disasters or political issues, which include, government actions and municipal dissolution and local government fragmentation. On a global scale, a small but sizable number of cities are dying, closing down their municipal governments and returning to dependence on counties. [Anderson, 2012] These small cities were defined as ghost towns, as they were emptied of population, as industries moved on, leading to jobs being lost in which put a strain on families as they struggled to survive, giving them no other option other than to leave. However, contrastingly, within china, new urban cities have been classified as “ghost towns” because the cities are unaffordable or simply, the Chinese don’t want to live within these areas. Ghost cities in china have multiplied over the years due to the notion that the Chinese government continue to live by which is “if you build it, they will come” [Watson and Young, 2013]. However, even with this mentality in place the government is still building and residences are not “coming”, minimal or non-existent.
