Is China a capitalistic or socialistic economy? Why do you think it is such?
Read through and prepare your response to the statement below:
In the last 30 years, China has changed significantly, both politically and economically. The term “one country two systems” is often used to describe the unique development of this country. Chinese products can be found not only in Asia but all over the world. Chinese investments are not limited to the region, but are reaching places from Africa to the U.S. Read about these changes using current academic literature and business newspapers (Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Business Week, The Economist). Based on your current knowledge of economic systems, answer the following question:
•Is China a capitalistic or socialistic economy? Why do you think it is such?
China operates under a system known as “State Capitalism”. It’s basically having your cake and eating it too. Providing you’re the government. Economically, they are capitalists. Socially they are still a tyrannical communist regime.
Don’t be fooled, though. The Chinese government is very much in control of every aspect of its citizens lives. It’s not a “free country” like you and I know it. However – considering the conduct of our utterly corrupt elected officials – China is a glimpse into our future if we don’t start acting like our liberties mean something. Rather than allowing them to be “open for interpretation”.
