China & India...

When we talk about the economy all over the world, it s obvious we will say that China’s economy is one of the most powerful. Knowing about the US crisis, instead of think of Europe, we think in Asia, especially China. The most important thing to note of the economy growing in Southeast was because of the infrastructure development in those countries. The cheap labour in those countries had helped a lot in the manufacturing, therefore the massive exportation of products had made an extreme impact in the world.

We would not view China as a threat to the rest of the world, but it will definitely be the next big power. The reason for this is their working force, since it is the most populated country of the planet and their work ethic in unparalleled. Besides, no nation in the world can match up to their costs and they also offer a very good quality, in contrast to how their products were in the future.

However, I think China will have to achieve a higher level of political credibility before being recognized as the next big thing. They should focus on developing good relations with all the other big countries in order for their voice to be heard on the global stage.

All in all, we agree with the idea of China as the world’s next most powerful country, but they are still lacking in some important areas. They have to develop their international relations if they want to be taken into consideration seriously, but all in all, only time will tell…

Of course, globalisation will have a positive impact on the people of India and China. With the expansion of trade and technology, communication between all kinds of people will grow and even more people born in these countries will travel to live in different ones. However, there will also be some negative consequences. As we know, with better communications and relations between countries, India and China could develop into even more diverse countries, with a wide array of languages being spoken and more foreign influence every time. Last but not least, all the development and technological advances will end up in a decrease of Chinese and Indian culture, since people will focus more on their everyday lives and in keeping up with time than in carrying on with traditions.
