This video is just something intersting I saw and shows how fast the population is growing in China which will only lead to more production.

Depending on Chinese leading to global trouble?

Because China is mainly saving country, they have been purchasing others debt to help them out of this current economic mess. This also gives the Chinese more power over the countries that owe them money and soon we will depend on them. Will this lead to global problems?

Globalization hurting other countries

This is a quick response to the article, "How Susie Bayer's T-shirt ended Up on Yusuf Mama's Back". I think that this article really brings up an interesting point on how globalization is hurting poor countries like Uganda. There are two different ways of looking at the situation. People in the United states who buys tons of new clothing every year, due to new styles, often donate their old clothes. These clothes are then shipped off to different countries who need them, or do they? From the article, it says how these second-hand clothes help the Ugandans becasue without them, they would be naked. But, in contrast to this, the second-hand clothes we donate to the countries, hurt their textile industry. Therefore, Ugandans are dressed completely in western clothing. A Ugandan mentions how they have a "used culture". Nothing they own is from their country, all of their possessions are from richer countries who dont want them anymore. This causes the Ugandan culture to fade away. In conclusion, countries are becoming more and more western due to the inevitable rise of capitalism.

Sexy Beijing. Lost in Translation

This video shows what globalization is doing to countries like China. This is the effect of westernization.

Note: I am not trying to make fun the Chinese culture in any way. But this is just an example of how their culture and people are changing due to globalization.

From Mao To Market

China has capitalism, but don't expect political reform.

China's leaders have just celebrated the 30 year anniversary of the advent of economic reforms. As the global economy staggers in the quicksand of recession, it is worth pausing to remember just how far China has come in a single generation by embracing capitalism and globalization.
It is also worth remembering

Chinese Economy

The Chinese economy has had the fastest growth in the world for that last few decades. Despite the current economic slump (not just in China), China has kept up an incredible pace. The question is if they will be able to control and have sustainable economic growth. On average since the 1980's, the Chinese economy has grown on average 9.9% every year. What factors contribute to this growth? Will the communist government intervene with China's capitalist intentions? What happens next? All the articals can agree that China is the future center of the economic world, and possible the next super-power. They belive that China has the potiential and when the time comes they will surpass America.
