I will discuss the theories of "absolute advantage" and "government policies" and how they support the economic rise of China and India.…
While the Asian tigers still command significant power in the global economy (all are within the top 40 largest economies), many people would argue that the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) are now the main focus of development and the potential superpowers of the future global economy, with all of these economies being within the top 25 largest economies. While all of them have the potential to be global economic superpowers, with some arguing that China with is current rates of 7% growth and a budget surplus of 10% already is, people must remember that these economies are still developing, and, on their own, cannot be the focus of the global economy alone. The developed economies are driving the development of the BRICS…
India is now an NIC, as the IT services boom has transformed the country’s economy, which is now growing at more than 9% per year, the same rate as China. India’s HIC is 0.547(2011 estimate). Since China opened up its markets to the West in the 1980s, the city of Shanghai has transformed into a booming metropolis consisting of about 21 million people. Shanghai accounts for 30% of China’s foreign exports and attracts 25% of all foreign investment into the country. The GDP of Shanghai alone is US450 billion! China’s HDI is 0.867 (2011 estimate).…
China and India are now seen as the world's fast-growing large economies [News Week, August 22-29, 2005]. Both countries have radically different economic models but both have outperformed many countries and they have become the main engines that drive Asia's and world growth. In particular, their trade and investment growths have a tremendous effect on the world economy. The liberalizationlib·er·al·ize…
Since World War II, Japan started to focus on its economic growth and eventually became the second largest GDP in 1967. Japan is currently the world’s fourth largest exporter and sixth greatest importer in the processing industry and high-technology. As Japan’s position has grown, their political, economical power in the world has grown, too. However, as many Asian and Latin countries’ economical development efforts are growing rapidly, Japan’s former position is threatened. Especially in the case of China, since they opened the market, now they are 4th biggest country in terms of economic size. The biggest reason that China has a big potential is its big market size and huge population. India or China’s economic size can be big, but the national income will be hard to get into high-national income countries group and potential growth limitation will come earlier than other advanced countries had gone through. If densely populated country such as China becomes the highest-national income country, former powerful economic countries such as Japan or the United States will have to give up their wealth in the world market. That is not going to happen in terms of earth energy and resources limitation, environmental pollution, and trade or market share.…

First of all, I believe that the notion of the natural behavior of the economy (the economic cycle) supports my statement strongly because of the juxtaposition of the states at which the two countries are in. Now, America is in recession and is emerging into the expansion period. This means the economy is starting to improve and move towards the Boom state whereas, China’s economy (now experiencing a boom) may continue to grow at a slower rate as it moves towards the contraction era. Therefore, it is likely that in 10 years the situation will be reversed with the expectations that China’s nominal GDP will start to decrease while America’s will start to increase. As Bo Bonnett once said, “as sure as the spring will follow the winter, prosperity and economic growth will follow recession.”…
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.…
In the first years of new millennium, the global economic map is vastly more complicated than that of only a few decades ago. Although there are clear elements of continuity, dramatic changes have occurred. The overall trajectory (yörünge) of world economic growth has become increasingly volatile: short-lived surges (dalgalanma) in economic growth punctuated by periods of downturn or even recession. Within this uneven trajectory, however, there has been a substantial reconfiguration of the global economic map. Although a handful of older core economies still dominate international trade and investment flows, the most spectacular recent growth rates have been achieved by the East Asia NIEs. Without doubt, the most important single global shift of recent times has been the emergence of East Asia- including the truly potential giant, China. So, there have been big changes in the contours of the global economic map. The global economy can be described as a mosaic of unevenness in a continuous state of…

China has been controlled by communist era politics and the leadership of Mao. The new reform of 1978 was a transition of power and influence to China allowing influences of the West to make its mark. With this transformation came an uncertainty about how China would balance its large population with balancing the economy and growing foreign business. China is poised to become the superpower of the world. Economic growth, business stability, growing infrastructure and government banking policies are impacted with the new reform. The Chinese social order and environmental impact is to be impacted by the large boom of business and infrastructure. China’s rise as a global power comes with consequences from the unprecedented rate of economic growth. China’s population of nearly 1.3 billion will be a factor in global politics and foreign relations. In the last 20 years China burst into the world market from a country of no international trade to a country with large amounts of foreign trading. The government and policy makers are setting goals and agendas for the emerging power. The economic experts of the world have labeled the People’s Republic of China as an emerging superpower with its business sector now reaching globally. As well as the economic growth, development, infrastructure and military superpowers that are continually rising from the days of communist control. The rise of China is a term used to show the importance of the new rising superpower that the world is seeing and hearing about through the media. China is growing and expanding on a daily basis. The rural population is moving to urban cities to find work and the metropolis cities with large skyscrapers are growing outward and upward.…
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.…
India is an emerging country with huge potential. The domestic economy is now growing at around 9-10% per annum and India’s importance in global terms is being reinforced by rapidly rising exports and domestic consumption. At a time when numbers of a slowdown and overheating in the Indian economy have started gaining momentum, the Indian rupee sprang a surprise by pushing the GDP figure past the trillion-dollar (42,00,000 crore) mark.…
The word super power refers to a state powerful enough to influence events throughout the world. Firstly, India has a fine chance at becoming a superpower. India's young population coupled with the second largest English-speaking population in the world, could give India an advantage over China. Also while other industrial countries will face a youth gap, India will have lots of young people, or in other words, workers.…
