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). It is clear that the economies of China and India are notable up-and-comers on the world economic stage. I believe that the theories of "absolute advantage" and "government policy" can show how China and India have risen in recent history.…

    China’s economy has grown substantially since 1960. The population of the second largest economy in the world shot up by 73 million people over the past decade. New data from the National Bureau of Statistics show that of China’s 1.35 billion people, 51.3% lived in urban areas at the end of 2011. In the past five decades and more, major industrial products have increased by dozens or even hundreds of times, and many industrial products have been sold all over the world.

    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.”…

    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. Analysts say the economies rapid rising will begin to falter and become more steady in a year from now,…

    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…

    With the rapid development of science and technology, population and development have further become important issues, which are the general subjects of international community. 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 has the largest and one of the densest population in the world. Although it offers the country abundant labor resources and broad markets, an excessive population also brings negative effects. China’s large population is undoubtedly the primary factor in causing these following problems and contradictions.…

Evidences of the middle kingdom ongoing industrial revolution are present in the air, in its water, and in the vast transformation of the country’s landscape. “A total of sixteen out of the top twenty most polluted cities are in China” (Walsh).

    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). Currently, China has the following demographic statistics: There are approximately 12 births per 1,000 populations, 7 deaths per 1,000 populations and a rate of natural increase of 0.5% (Raven, Hassenzahl and Berg). The infant mortality rate in China is 17%; the life expectancy at birth for women is 77 years and men 72 years respectively (Raven, Hassenzahl and…
