Sammanfattning
Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to analyze China-EU trade relations with focus on the period after 1975, when the diplomatic relations between China and EU developed. The research questions are (i) what is the driver in the development of China-EU trade relations? This question is subdivided into two questions: how do economic factors impact on China-EU trade relations and how do political factors influence China-EU trade relations? (ii) what are the existing problems in the current China-EU relations? (iii) what are the future prospects?
To carry out the research questions and fulfill the aim of the paper, a qualitative and quantitative method has been chosen in order to interpret and understand China-EU trade relations. The

theoretical framework of this study is neo-realism and neo-liberalism with particular attention focusing on political issues and economic issues respectively.
A number of conclusions can be drawn from research. First, China-EU trade has developed very rapidly. Trade relations between the two sides are good. They are the third

    Economics Impacts of Globalisation on China Essay

    China’s rapid growth in the past decades is caused by the increase of the acceptance of Globalisation. China has undergone many transformations. It has implemented "open door" economic reform policy in 1978, which saw the move from a centrally planned economy to a market based economy with a trade oriented focus. With conjunction to this strategy, China joined the Asia Pacific economic corporation (APEC) in 1991 to develop and maintain economic relations within its region. This impacted China as there is now greater exportation of cheap goods and foreign economic integration. This is beneficial to China as it has allowed for economic expansion and greater financial flows, which in turn has created greater economic stability for the nation. Due to these economic reforms, as can be seen on the graph, China’s GDP growth in 2011 is…

    China are the world’s biggest exporter and second biggest in importers. This status is relevant because the North American and European economies suffered from the crisis in 2008-2009 and other countries needed an exporter country. China didn’t suffer from the crisis and showed potential. Countries exported to China and this helped the global recession from being worse. Also due to an increased activity of trade China is involved in, it has motivated a South to South trade.…

    China's National Interests

    China’s economic growth has been a remarkable development in post-Cold War Asia-Pacific. China’s average economic growth rate of 10% in 2008 is better than any other economy in the Asia Pacific region and has become the 2nd largest global tender. This shows the economic power China has in the international community and the importance of maintaining this in order to preserve China’s national interest and guide their interactions with other states in the world. President Hu was quoted saying that China “must focus on economic development as our central task…. in the building of a harmonious society". Beijing has pursued the achievement of this interest through joining the World Trade Organisation in 2002, passing legislation to facilitate foreign direct investment into China and dropping their average tariffs to 11% in 2003. China’s reliance on FDI makes its economic development reliant on favourable relations with other states. Not only has China maintained its national interest economically, but Beijing’s economic power has also promoted investment in secessionist regions. The ‘Three Direct Links’ policy caused…
