The Emerging Chinese Capitalistic Model

China is a topic that was brought up a lot during the 2012 election campaign. So I decided this was a good topic to do my research on. We will visit what capitalism is, privatization, and Chinas current state. Research shows the China has the potential to continue to be one of the worlds most successful economies. China has a population of 1.3 billion. China is the world’s second largest country, which includes 22 provinces. China also has the world’s largest Army.There are 18 dialects of the Chinese language, 70% of the population speak Mandarin. The major religion in China is Buddhism, other forms include Taoism, and Chinese folk.The Government structure in China is communist. (The World Bank) In communism the government owns all major factors of production. In China, “The current constitution was created in 1982 and been continually revised since. The constitution includes many civil rights: free speech, press, worship, the right to trial, and the right to own private property. However, in practice this constitution has widely not been followed. There has been very little done to ensure that new laws instituted follow the constitution. The judicial system does not provide any particular method for review of new laws.” ( ) China is slowly becoming more capitalistic. Capitalism is an economic system that is based on the privatization of the means of production and the production of goods or services for profit. Means of production and distribution are mostly privately owned. Capitalism encourages entrepreneurship and allows the possibility of private profits. Privatization is the process of transferring ownership of a business, enterprise, agency, public service or public property from the public sector (a government) to the private sector, either to a business that operates for a profit or to a non-profit organization. The term can also mean

    Karl Marx was developed his ideal of Communism world with the goal is to remove boundaries between rich and poor, high and low classes in both social and economic; to improving the low class lives and limit some of the high class assets by eliminating the ownership of property.

As stated in the title, he predicted that China’s government would change to have freedom of speech and a democracy similar to the one the United States has. He also said that the more China’s wealth grows, the more pressure will build and it would cause a change. Back then and even now China remains without a democracy and as it seems it is still far away from any drastic changes.…

    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.…
