India and China globalization

1) The balance of power in Eastern/Southern Asia – what are the consequences of economic growth? That many projects can be done but many resources are used to these projects and sometimes they won’t work as it is expected to (they don´t really earn money with the project), and they can cause a lot of economic problems. The economic growth also helps to create new technologies, and new technologies as well, helps the productivity in the jobs, and this can help raise the economy. But new technologies also have bad consequences, like pollution and global warming, because we don’t use correctly the technologies that we have.

2) Do you consider China to be a threat to the rest of the world? Do not just write yes or no, I would like an explanation of your view, JUSTIFIED with some piece of evidence, for example maybe something you have read. Is China in particular a threat to the unipolar system, and will it challenge the dominant position of the United States? I think that China could be a threat, because they produce a lot of things every day, and even though they are very cheap, they could earn a lot of money with time and make more productive things. I have read that United States have concerns about China’s economically, militarily, and politically rise because it would challenge the dominant position that the United States has since the collapse of the former Soviet Union. Another concern is that if China rises, its military power will increase and it could become a military superpower.

3) What are the potential positive and/or negative impacts on the people of China and India of globalization? Consider the way in which globalization affects economies, because of free trade doctrine, and consider technology and culture, as will be mentioned in class. I think that if India and China has an impact in the entire world it would grow faster; economically and in population. Because both cultures have a great “working culture” that’s why they are growing a lot in these recent years. Maybe trading would be better, and also technology because if it has a great impact in the world the handy work will be more expensive and this will cause that the products would be of better quality. The negative side is that it will cause a lot of competence between powerful countries, like Japan, United States and maybe United Kingdom too. It could emerge a second cold war.
