Political parties in the China and the United States are exceptionally different. In a way that each country's political party system has their own way of controlling their government. At the end each country's main objective is to make sure their country would succeed. In China they have a Communist form of government and in the United States, we have a Democratic and Republican parties. Also events that happen in or out of China or the United States affects policy making.
A Political party is a group of individuals that share the same belief and an idea about the way that their country should be governed. There are three types of party systems in the world. These parties include the one-party, two-party, and multi-party. China has a single-party

system, which means that there is only be one political party system. China has been under the control of Communism since 1949. The communist party of China controls every part of government. “Today, although the Party is committed to maintaining a permanent monopoly on power and is intolerant of those who question its right to rule.”(Dumbaugh, Kerry, and Michael). The government basically controls most of the production and distributions of goods that goes in and out of their country. China’s government is not the same as the United states where the United states makes equal rights. In In the United states Political parties try to win the votes from the people. China’s system of government the people have no real choices of which party to choose because there is only one party. “China did not really have a choice about whether to let these things in, even though some of them undermined established patterns. Having to pay lip service to words such as "democracy" while continuing to resist what they actually meant led to hypocrisy. “(What It Means to Be Chinese)When the government in China makes law they don't ask the people on how they feel about it. It's basically within the government. There's not other party that they could choose so if the government feels like making a law that you don't agree with you really can’t do anything about it. The people of China have a very small say in the government they live under. China’s government believe that they are doing what is right for their country. In the United States, there is a two-party system, which means that there are two major parties that have control over the government.
Even though there are other parties that do exist in the United States the two main parties in the government are the Democratic and Republican parties. Instead of only one party that controls the government there are two parties. Having the two-party system in the United States is beneficial because a two-party system allows there to be a stable balance in the government. The Democratic party believes in the idea that there should be equal rights. That the government should be more active in the lives of people in need. Meaning that the government should be taking care of all their citizens. On the other side there’s the Republicans party takes care of owners that are from both large and small business. Having a two party system allows each party to focus on the interest and opinions of the people because each group consists of individual voters. Both parties try to do what's best for the county. Democratic believe that people should have the right to abortion their child because it is their body and they should have a choice to do what they want. Republicans have their own opinion on abortion. They believe that the unborn child also has rights too. That that baby should have the right to live. Each party voices their opinions and the people can decided which side they are for. Having two political parties allows what is necessary to make political decisions because each party has to think about the interest and opinions of the people, so that they can continue to receive the support from them. Political parties work together to get their candidate elected. After their candidates are elected into office, they work together to decide what laws to pass. The main goal of any political party is to win elections so that they could decide what is right for their government. People in the United States when they register to vote, they
are allowed to join a party. It is usually the democratic or republican party. Even if you choose a party you don’t have to stay with it forever. “The proportion of voters reporting that they have voted for different parties in presidential elections rose from 29% to 57% between 1920 and 1976.”(Macey) Some people do join a party but some people decides that they don't want to join any of the parties. If they then decide that they can vote as and Independents. Candidate has to think about what things their party would work toward and what they are supporting. For example, say if one of the parties decided that they want to get rid of all undocumented immigrants in America. Many of their supporters might be with agreeing with them, but this would be a difficult task to do. The problem is this would most likely not happen because where would they be getting their money from to pay for the deportation. The only way to make it happen would be to increase the taxes. If increasing taxes that mean the poor become poor. It wouldn't have a big effect on the rich Political parties try to think about how the people that are voting for them will react. Domestic and international events affect policies in both the United states and China. Economic policy is based on three main area which are Fiscal policy, Monetary policy, and Trade policy. Fiscal policy is based on government decisions in regards to a country’s taxing and spending. This means that if the government plans to raise growth in the economy they would increase spending on goods and services. By doing this it will also increase demands for goods and services. Since demand will be going up production must go up, so if production goes up that mean companies might need to hire more people. People that were once unemployed will be able to have the opportunity to have a new job now. While jobs increase that mean, they will have money to spend on their needs. This will increase the demand rate and require more production. If the government thinks that the economy is growing to fast. If the government decreases spending then demands will decrease also in the economy. With demands decreasing business will slow down production, which means less less people would be hired and less investment. This means the people will have less money to spend of goods in other people stores. Monetary policy refers to the setting of interest rates and buying and selling bonds in the market in order to influence the amount of money available in the economy. This is a way that the government attempts to influence the economy by controlling supply or the amount of money in circulation. Trade policy handles the laws regarding the exchange of goods and services with other nations. Many companies in America depend upon the United States government to protect their companies against other foreign competition. United states regulation is largely set at state and federal level. Congress is in charge of regulating trade, setting tariffs and protect domestic business. They have created an environment which makes it easy for foreign markets to accept U.S. imports. Executive branch has a huge impact on trade. Economic development in China has allowed them to become one of the most successful countries in the world in the last few decades. With the economy growing in China it has lead some of their people out of poverty. Without the exports of goods to other countries they wouldn't be doing as well. As years progress more jobs are being created in China because of people demands from the United States. “China's economy has grown enormously over the past three-and-a-half decades. Its gross domestic product (GDP), the most common measure of economic output, was $10.4 trillion in 2014, making it the world's second-largest economy--only the U.S. economy is larger.”(Jiang). People wonder if China relies too much on export. Some think that they do because China has spent over 2 trillion dollars in the last eight years or so trying to buying up foreign exchange reserves so that they could keep the value of the currency low. Instead of China spending there money on trying to keep the values of the currency low they could have took that money and invested elsewhere in the Chinese economy. People believe that China need to make a shift from depending on exports to depending more on growth based on domestic demand for goods and services within China. The best way to do that is to allow wages to rise for Chinese workers so they could be able to buy the goods they are producing. “Late summer devaluations of the Chinese currency, the ren min bi, sent tremors through the global economy, including stock markets in the United States and other countries.” (Moffett) China not allowing the value of the yuan to rise is concerning the United States and other trading partners. Since the mid 2008 China has set an exchange rate of 6.83 yuan to the dollar. People are complaining that China’s policies is damaging efforts to for global economic recovery and is causing tension with the United States and China. They are saying that China is protection there trades by keeping the price of its goods down which harms U.S. exports. They are urging China to change the exchange rate. People think that China is willing to do anything to make their economic more powerful. They think the only way to make China change their currency is by forcing them change it. China's currency is undervalued by around 40 percent. Due to this it has cost the United states about 2 million jobs or more. China is being accused that they save to much and america is consuming more than they can afford. China needs to grow their exports to generate 20 million job people a year. This became into a mutual distrust. These products that are coming from China are not being made by Americans anymore and of course china wants buy more high technology product from the United states. There is a fear of the growth of china's economy and the growth of China as a nation. This fear and suspicion translates into a mutual distrust. Whats happening is that China's economic power keeps growing because the country is catching up with the rest of the world from a very low starting point. They have chosen to do that by keeping the exchange rate low. This causes a significant economic imbalance. China is one of the main reason that the economic crisis was so severe. They believe that with a currency realignment It should get them out of it. As one can see, The Democratic and republican parties play a very important role in our government. Communism is the only party in China, whereas there are more than one party in America. Both China and the United States government believe that they are doing what is right for their country.
The Political Turmoil of China From 1911 to 1927 There were many reasons why China slipped into political instability or turmoil between 1911 and 19287. There reasons include the questionable leadership of Yuan Shih Kai, the presence of the warlords, the One of the reasons was that questionable leadership of Yuan Shih Kai. When Yuan took over control from Sun Yat Sen as the President, he tried to revert to the monarchical system of rule. From 1912 until 1915, he ruled as a military dictator with the support of the army. His rule was already blemished with resistance and that demonstrated that the people did not quite accept him as the leader of China.
When a country only has a one party government, there is only one outcome for every situation. With a divided government, there can be multiple outcomes. What that one party says, goes even if their decision is wrong and ends up hurting the people and country. They may look at certain situations or problems but never really get past them because they feel that nothing appears to be wrong with the way they are doing things. Having a divided government adds much needed insight to certain problems. Divided government is a good thing because each side can meet in the middle and create an atmosphere of cooperation and compromise that will approve legislation which will appeal to the middle and moderate Americans rather than the extremes. In a divided government, each party serves as a watch dog for the other, ensuring that one side does not become stronger than the other. Having these checks and balances ensures that one side does not turn into a tyrannical form of government since the different branches of government have to check on one another, each party has a way of stalling the efforts of the other party. This division also increases the chance of an opposing voice, promotes debates between the two sides and provides a more effective oversight on the executive
In the 1790s, soon after the ratification of the Constitution, political parties were nonexistent in the USA because President Washington feared they would drive the country apart. However, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, with their rivalling mental models, could not help but spark the division of the United States into the Democratic-Republican and Federalist parties. These parties, the Democratic-Republican wanting a small, local government system and the Federalist wanting a strong, powerful government system, turned citizens against one another and eventually led to the inimical Democratic and Republican parties of today. Hence, the formation of the original political parties in the United States is very significant. Political
There have been many different parties surface since the beginning of the American political system. They all have had different thoughts, policies, and motivations. Each party has their own agenda some have made significant contributions and others have not. The first split, and beginning of the party system, came with the variation between the Federalists and the Democratic Republicans. These two parties were extremely different in thought, strategies, and status of people involved such as their leaders and believes on how to run the government. The Federalists worked to create a stronger national government, supported British in foreign affairs, and favored a national bank. The Democratic-Republican Party operated to advocate states’ rights, supported the French in foreign affairs and opposed a national bank. These are some of the differences that set apart these two major government Parties.
...r to help each other and also contribute to voting for the country. However, even today America still has political party groups which affect the country both positively and negatively unlike what Washington had thought. He stated that parties would cause problems, however the parties are what keep the government intact and it also helps make decisions for the country.
In the United States there are only two main political parties to choose from. The two main parties are the Democrats and the Republicans. There are also many other political parties to choose from which are called third parties. Third parties may include political parties such as the Socialist Equality Party and the Peace and Equality party. People can choose to be a part of any party they want but most go with the common two main parties the Democrats and Republicans. Democrats and Republicans have many similarities and differences. These mainly occur in international, social, economic, and domestic issues.
A two-party system is a political system in which only two parties have a realistic opportunity to compete effectively for control. As a result, all, or nearly all, elected officials end up being a member in one of the two major parties. In a two-party system, one of the parties usually holds a majority in the legislature hence, being referred to as the majority party while the other party is the minority party. The United States of America is considered to be a two-party system. A two-party system emerged early in the history of the new Republic. Beginning with the Federalists and the Jeffersonian Republicans in the late 1780s, two major parties have dominated national politics, although which particular two parties has changed with the times and issues. During the nineteenth century, the Democrats and Republicans emerged as the two dominant parties in American politics. As the American party system evolved, many third parties emerged, but few of them remained in existence for very long. Today the Democrats and Republican still remain as the dominant parties. These two parties hav...
Today, political parties can be seen throughout everyday life, prevalent in various activities such as watching television, or seeing signs beside the road while driving. These everyday occurrences make the knowledge of political parties commonly known, especially as the two opposing political parties: the Republicans and the Democrats. Republican and Democrats have existed for numerous years, predominantly due to pure tradition, and the comfort of the ideas each party presents. For years, the existence of two political parties has dominated the elections of the president, and lower offices such as mayor, or the House of Representatives. Fundamentally, this tradition continues from the very emergence of political parties during the election of 1796, principally between Federalist John Adams and Anti-federalist Thomas Jefferson. Prior to this election people unanimously conformed to the ideas of one man, George Washington, and therefore did not require the need for political parties.1 However, following his presidency the public was divided with opposing opinions, each arguing the best methods to regulate the country. Ultimately, the emergence of different opinions regarding the future of the United States involving the economy, foreign relations, ‘the masses,’ and the interpretation of the Constitution, led to the two political parties of the 1790s and the critical election of 1800.
The term party system refers to the organizations, the balance of power and the institutional bases of the country. Though the Founding Fathers, particularly George Washington, warned the nation about becoming a two-party system, America has been a strong two party nation since the 1790s, when the Federalist competed against the Jeffersonian Republicans. In the present days, the two predominant parties are the Democratic and the Republican Parties, but, as mentioned before, this was not always the case. The first party system was constituted in 1790s. The
China has been ruled by the Communist Party ever since. It was the events between 1946 and 1964 that strengthened communism in China. At the end of World War II, the Nationalist Party (GMD) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) raced for power in China. The chairman of the Communist Party was Mao Zedong and their army was known as the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The Nationalist’s were led by Chiang Kai-shek and their army was the Kuomintang.
There are many different pros and cons in life. Regardless of what someone is trying to compare. It is very interest when doing research on new country that an individual does not know much about that particular topic. What are the most important qualities in a country that help us function as a society. They are economic growth, strong structural system with government so the people can have a leader to follow in the right path.
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.
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.
Xi Jinping and his rise to Chinese presidency began in Beijing during China’s reforms under Mao Zedong. His father was a communist party leader that was persecuted after Mao turned on his own party during the communist revolution. Though Mao’s cultural revolution did not exactly succeed, it threw young Xi Jinping into the political world with concepts of pragmatism and bureaucratic ideas. He moved to the southeastern part of China where he developed the economic and political roots that set him on the track to becoming the chief of the communist party in 2007, and then the vice president of China in 2008. Xi Jinping during his presidential campaign, appeared as a “liberal” leader because of his disapproval of the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989. In 2013,
The government ensures that the citizens are living in a peaceful country, with security, better service delivery and it also a good thing allowing people to participate in decision making through voting. The political parties play a role in providing these resources to the people like; clean water, repair roads, remove garbage, etc. When we come to voting between different parties that under the government we vote for how they deliver services to the society. The election time where every party goes to an electoral campaign to present the candidate that they nominated to stand for them in the political office and make promises to the people into how they can change the world and how they can deliver services much better than the party that is already in charge. They normally d...
