Extra credit blog: China and globalization —— ZHANG XIAOTONG

 Globalization has both benefits and challenges for China. Globalization provides China with huge opportunities, but also requires China to adopt more flexible strategies in dealing with international competition, domestic reform and global governance.

Benefits of globalization for China:

1. Economic growth and market expansion: Globalization has promoted China's economic ties with the world, especially after joining the World Trade Organization, China has gained a broader market and more investment opportunities. Globalization enables China to sell its products to the global market, increase export revenue, and become one of the world's largest manufacturing bases and trading countries.

2. Technology and knowledge transfer: Globalization has promoted the investment of multinational companies in China, bringing a large number of advanced technologies, management models and talent exchanges. These have provided important support for China's technological innovation and industrial upgrading. With the gradual advancement of globalization, many Chinese companies have gradually improved their independent research and development capabilities through foreign investment cooperation and technology introduction.

3. International market and cooperation: Globalization has enabled Chinese companies to enter the international capital market, promoted the integration of international interests, and gradually deepened the economic interdependence between countries, forming a situation of mutual prosperity and mutual loss. This is conducive to the improvement of state relations and international cooperation.

Challenges of globalization to China:

1. Environmental issues: Globalization may lead to overexploitation of natural resources and environmental pollution, exacerbating the imbalance of economic development between developing and developed countries.

2. Social inequality: Globalization may exacerbate social inequality, because the benefits are often concentrated in the hands of a few people, which may lead to social inequality and aggravate social contradictions.

China's contribution and role in globalization:

1. Promoting global economic growth: China is the world's second largest economy, and economic growth has an important impact on the global economy. In the context of globalization, China has become an indispensable part of global supply. With the rise of China's middle class, the Chinese consumer market has become a key market for global goods and services. This not only contributes to the continued growth of China's economy, but also promotes the recovery and development of the global economy.

2. Participants in global governance: China bears many international responsibilities in the process of globalization and actively participates in global governance. For example, China has gradually played a greater role in issues such as climate change and international security, promoting the diversification of the international order and a more equitable global governance system.

In general, China not only benefits from globalization, but also plays an increasingly important role in promoting the process of globalization. China has both benefited and contributed to the process of globalization and needs to constantly adjust its strategies in the course of development to cope with various challenges.

HUANG LINGXUAN （What is globalization?）

The term "globalization" first appeared in 1962, and today it has transformed from a specialized term into a common expression. <The Economist> called it “the most overused word of the 21st century.” Merriam-Webster defines globalization as the process of promoting activities and motives across global spaces, a process that has been ongoing for a long time. In fact, the roots of globalization can be traced back to humanity’s early migrations and expansions. The year 1492 marked a significant milestone in the history of globalization. The discovery of the New World brought together people who had been isolated for millennia, and various species began to exchange globally. For example, Peru’s potato and Mexico’s chili peppers spread around the world, while Ethiopian coffee found new homes in Brazil and Vietnam. During this period, different societies not only evolved in diverse ways and established unique political and economic structures but also developed different tech...

What is Globalization? -Dabin Kim

Globalization refers to the process by which countries around the world are economically, politically, socially, and culturally interconnected. As time and space constraints are reduced due to the development of technology and communication, interactions between countries become closer and the world works like a "one global village." Roland Robertson defined globalization as a "spread of global consciousness," while Anthony Giddens described globalization as a "compression of time and space," stressing that local events have an immediate impact on the world. There are economic globalization, cultural globalization, and political globalization. Economic globalization is a phenomenon in which economies are connected to each other through the free exchange of goods, services, and capital between countries. For example, the spread of multinational corporations and the increase in international trade are prime examples of economic globalization. Multinational c...

Blog1: What is globalization? - Jeongeun Park

Blog1: What is globalization? In the 21st century, as globalization progresses rapidly in various fields, such as the media industry and the IT field, I believe that there might be no one who doesn't know the word "globalization." Nevertheless, it is questionable whether they know exactly what globalization is. According to Roland Robertson and Harrison White, emphasizes different aspects of the global interconnectedness in sociology and cultural theory. While both of them recognize the sweeping influence of globalization, their perspectives separate in meaningful ways. Robertson looks at the cultural and global consciousness it fosters, whereas White focuses on how globalization impacts the social relationships and structures that bind people and institutions. Especially, the concept of “Glocalization” suggested by Robertson was interesting to me. This means that local cultures actively reshape global influences to fit their own context. I reckon that the perspective sho...
