Do you think that China is going capitalism?

Eventually, I believe it probably will.  Whether this takes 50 years or 500 is something only time will tell.

In some ways, it is. There is no way, China will want to or can suck up all the wealth and opportunities from its trading partners. China is smarter than that. While it is ambitious and wants to have a big presence on the world stage, it realises that it is important to have economically viable partners to trade with.\n\nIn some ways it isn't. China has certain "advantages". It has one of the largest unsaturated markets left in the world. It has a huge pool of human resources that is relatively cheap compared with its trading counterparts. The appetite for better living standards is huge which provides incredible motivation for the general population. In the west, life is quite comfortable for the most part and hence less motivation to do the hard yards. What you have is a incredibly large market hungry for success and a better life and one that in recent years has been given that opportunity. Its like the story about the poor immigrant who came, saw the opportunity and worked their butt off to huge success except they have the opportunity to do it all at home.\n\nI think the real question is not how much of a threat this is but what is the best way to position yourself to take advantage of the conditions now present so you can enjoy the future you want. Many western corporations realise this hence the big investment hoping to cash in on the rising of China. It's not a home run as many mistakes have been and will be made, but the risk of not doing is seemingly a lot higher.

i think china already did, the question is rather where is the limit of the rise, some say the chinese economy will pass the us economy in 25 years

China is selling you all their goods. They own 40 percent of America's debt and interest rates are rising. Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger sold out America to the Chinese 35 years ago. Kissinger still has his finger in the Chinese pie, it made him a billionaire. If you think our jobs are in jeopardy now, wait until your grandchildren are speaking in Asian tongues.

The emergence of China as a world power would (in the long run) augur well for the world's Balance of Power.\nThe present Unipolarity that is been experienced would change to Multipolarism with the emergence of other super powers.\nI dont really beleive that China is practising the true tenets of communism. Am sure the "gods" of communism wont be happy with the nature of comunism being practised there!!!\nChina, I believe, is tending more towards capitalism & that would in the long run help the global economy develop faster.

Money talks China is starting to figure out citizens with money are easier to deal with than footing the whole bill.\nChina is on its way out of communism.

only if the Nazis would help them make lots of money in their country.\n\nLots of the tech companies are helping out the oppressive Chinese Government and it is wrong.

Honestly? probably never again. World consumption far outpaces production (Thanks to China) coupled with production troubles (political and economic instability in producing countries) mean we will be paying higher prices. (Don't forget inflation too).

Most experts say that China will become the major world economic power within the next 10 years. China's extremely large population, coupled with new money from outsourcing from Japan and the US, has created an explosion of consumer spending. This in turn has boosted the Chinese economy, and will couse China to be the biggest emerging market in the coming years.\n\nIndia, to a smaller extent, will experience/is experiencing this effect as well. However, China is much more developed than India, which to some extent is still a third world country.

That's a scary thought. I don't fear china, but it would be prudent to treat them with as much respect as possible. I believe it would be very costly in lives.

hi... am not much into facts but all i can give u is an overview.\nchina has one of the most skilled labor force in the world, and because of the sheer numbers, chinese labor is cheap.\ndue to the communist govt. everything is still very controlled.which is in a way good till the economy has achieved a safe growth rate. but on the flip side there are arguments that due to the lack of transparency, the facts could not be the best representations of the true picture.\nmore FDI (foreign direct investment) is pouring into China.\nnow that there is a big stress on learning english as a language, things are looking better.\nall in all, China is a very big economic force to reckon with.\nplease feel free to send me ur views as well....

All together, billions of dollars.\n\nSee this article from the Wall Street Journal about *last year's* bonuses.  This is either a perfect example of how capitalism is supposed to work or why the country is going down the tubes.\n\nMike Honeycutt

trade is benefiting china as a nation, which is capitalism.  however the government still functions as a socialist government for taxes, etc.\n\ntheir economy is growing due to global capitalism and their large population and cheap labor.  their govt is still communist.

China is a power to reckon with in the future especially that it s booming a an economic power.  Later, it might develop  superior arms and might engage in military adventurism in conquering other countries.

The short answer is that China is still communist because that's the system that works best for them. There are several brands of communism. Despite what many people believe, all communists are not the same. China's brand of communism is not the same as Russia's brand of communism was. \nWhat is really going to be interesting is to see what happens now that China is becoming a capitalistic country (just take a look at where most of the goods you buy are produced) and with what is happening inside China itself. \nIn Beijing, for example, ten years ago the bicycle was the main way of getting around. When we were there, it was hard to believe the number of bikes we saw, and the number of people and the amount of goods that could be piled on one Pigeon (the trade name of China's most popular bike). Now that the economy is allowing personal wealth, there is a great deal of interest in private motor vehicles. Just think for a moment of the impact that will have! Unless they jump directly into a non-fossil fuel technology, you will have the potential for a billion more cars spewing fumes into the atmosphere, a screaming world wide shortage of gas and oil, and incredible traffic jams in the major cities. \nAh, yes. We live in interesting times!
