China’s Business Lesson 101

Published by admin | Filed under Travel guides talk

One day the walled world of China opened a window and looked out and was startled that a thing called progress gobbled up Mother Earth’s natural resources in what seemed like almost over-night.

The window was slammed and the walled world’s huge doors were opened and behold to those venturing out, paths had become roads, highways had transformed into superhighways without cement or lane defining lines.

The scent of money was stronger than the walled world’s peonies in the spring. In fact, the heavenly aroma of money resulted in the trampling of many peonies.

The questions were fast-coming and endless, but the collective imagination of a people envisioned the rise of a new empire among the countries of the world.

Like filings attracted to a magnet, cheap labor, loose pollution regulations, and an appetite to embrace the riches of Mother Earth, China sprung into action almost overnight and as emerged in the 21st century as a force that will grow in power, sophistication, wealth, consumption, and influence.

It’s been an incredible quarter of a century for mainland China. Economic growth has been at a mind-boggling pace. China has been experiencing nearly 10 percent economic growth year after year for more than two decades.

Westerners point to China and accuse the most populated nation of stealing jobs. Cheap labor does attract investment and most would be surprised to learn that about twenty-five percent of the industries which have emerged in China are owned by foreign companies.

Profits and the potential to capture even more impressive margins from a cheap labor pool and a cooperative government have all contributed to a rising power in the East.

If you live in the developed part of the world, such as the U.S., Europe, or the U.K. you can’t blame China for taking jobs. You have to admit that countries evolve from basic farming to industrial nations and then transition into a more sophisticated technology phase and eventually become what we are today; media communicators.

The fuss that has risen to the top of the economic bowl is the concern that with China developing its industries and infrastructure, it is also using more natural resources, such as oil and more raw materials, including steel and glass.

Once just mentioned as a Communist country with no future, China has turned the tables and reached out to capture its once distant colonies.

The democracies of the world don’t think that a one-party system can effectively manage the growth and maintain the peace at home for long, but they’ve been doing it for centuries.

China is under the economic, social, and environmental microscopes of the world leaders, but the only thing that they will find is a country that is functioning as a machine whose output is gaining the respect of all those who view it.

There are desires and pressures for China to open its markets to foreign goods and create more of a level playing field in the world economy.

China has stabilized its social environment and controls more of what you take for granted in your daily life than you might imagine.

In reality, China has a voice that is louder than ever and being heard with increasing clarity through the headphones which you wear. There you are, listening through headphones which were made by Chinese workers with you in mind.

Just imagine dedicating yourself to personal development as rigidly as the country of China. If you did, you wouldn’t be worrying about jobs being lost; you would be in a self-educated position to create a future for yourself which China would gladly mass manufacture for you.

Do you remember all the things that were said about Japan when they began their rebuilding in the 50s? Goods were being mass produced at a very low price by U.S. comparison, but I remember my little, inexpensive AM transistor radio in a light blue case with the words; Made in Japan.
