Essay On China And Taiwan

Essay on China and Taiwan
China and Taiwan Historically, the Taiwan problem originated after the Nationalist and Communist Chinese re
–ignited the Civil War. They had
previously settled their disputes temporarily, to defend the invasion of the Japanese in the 1930s. The Civil War started again in 1946, only a year
after fighting ceased at the end of the Second World War. The Communists were commanded by Mao Tse Tung, and the Nationalists were being lead
by Chiang Kia–Shek. However, the Nationalists had the advantage of US support. The US were already concerned with the growing levels of
Communism worldwide, and were determined not to let China also fall to Communism. The USA saw China as a major world superpower that had the
potential to influence other, smaller...show more content...
However America, being allied to the Nationalists, became forced into a war by proxy with Russia. Both sides had allies that were enemies with each
other, but America and Russia were not direct enemies. When the Communists took control over China and defeated the Nationalists, Both the USA
and USSR were very surprised. America had supported the Nationalists by giving them money and resources to defend against the Communists.
Although the USSR had China as an ally, their leader Stalin was nervous. China was one of the main world superpowers at the time, and could easily
turn against them. Two million Nationalists then retreated to the Island of Taiwan. They feared a naval attack from the Communists, and so America
intervened. The USA sent a naval fleet (The US 7th Fleet) to patrol the waters linking mainland China with Taiwan. This is possibly the main reason
why mainland China has not invaded Taiwan. If they did so, they would have to face the American Fleet first. America wanted the people on Taiwan to
build up a large enough army that together they could re–invade mainland China. Today, this is more of a challenge as China has evolved into a bigger
and stronger nation. America is no longer more powerful than China. Chiang Kia–Shek had ambitions to keep control of Quemoy and Matsu. They
were small islands but were extremely close to the shore of mainland China. Trying to hold these islands provoked mainland China, and they could
easily be shelled. They were

It was in 1644 when the last dynasty of China was established. The Manchu's overthrew the national Ming dynasty and implemented the Qing dynasty.
Under this dynasty, Beijing was established as the capital. China experienced a time of prosperity under the last dynasty. Then, in the 19th century,
Qing power weakened and the prosperity diminished (History of China). After the Qing dynasty dissolved, China became a republic with early leaders
including General Yuan Shikai, Sun Yat
–sen, and Chiang Kai–shek. During the 1920's there were two prominent parties in China–the Kuomintang
(KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Chiang Kai–shek was the leader of the KMT and Mao Zedong became the leader of the Chinese
Communist Party. Civil war broke out amongst the two parties and eventually led to Chiang Kai–shek fleeing to Taiwan to form the Republic of China
(History of China). Mao Zedong had the mainland of China and it became known as the People's Republic of China. During Mao's reign, China
witnessed the "Great Leap Forward" and the Cultural Revolution. China has developed from an agrarian society to a booming industrial society. In
recent years, China has become decisively committed to economic reform and opening to the Western world. China's Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
purchasing power parity is $8.767

Essay on The Culture and History of China
Over the last 3000 years, China has had many inspirational leaders who have greatly influenced China's economy, literature, and philosophy. Not only
have each one of China's historical and contemporary leaders had an impact on China as a nation, but many of their ideas have flourished throughout
literature which has allowed other countries around the world to attain those ideas and learn from them. One of China's great leaders whose ideas,
theories and philosophical ponderings have had a great impact on China's ancient and modern day societies is Master Confucius. Confucius has

When the people of China were amazed by his well written and idealistic books, the words spread of Confucius' great works of literature, which meant
that more people would begin following Confucius. In one of his novels titled "The Classic of History," Confucius not only discusses from a literal
standpoint about the history of China, but he also discusses the religious and philosophical aspect of Chinese history. This brought many priests and
religious leaders from all around China to follow and understand the literature of Confucius. From a modern standpoint, the ancient and influential
Confucian literature is still being read and more modern Chinese writers such as Sung–Yat–Sen, Liang Sou–Ming, Chin Yue–Ling still followed the
ideas of Confucius' writing. They believed that the ideas of the Confucian texts were very inspirational and influential as they began to use his style
of writing as well as the basis of his ideas to start their writing. It is remarkable how the writing of a man who lived over 3000 years ago can still be
inspiring people today in China to cherish literature and be amazed by his books.
Confucius has had many major impacts on the philosophy of ancient and modern China which are shown through his significant theories and ideas. His
ideas are what define the philosophy of ancient China as they introduce a new philosophical perspective to people. Confucius' impact on Chinese
philosophy began when he

China
The history of China is embeded with revolution and tension dating back to the feudal periods and the " first unified Chinese empire under Qi Shi Huang
Di in 221 B.C. " The Confucianism ideology entrenched in the minds of the
Chinese people with its conservative base and the need to achieve harmony in society has yet to be reached and most likely, never will. The proletariat
is at the heart of the Marxist–Maoist approach to politics and the basic way of life for the Chinese masses considering that "...roughly 85% of the
population is based in peasantry..." While Marxism, as implemented by the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) and Nationalism have historically hindered the people of
China; a growing need to conform to...show more content...
The Chinese Communist Party was by no means a military power and it was unable to sustain itself and flourish in the Nationalist–controlled cities. The
Kuomintang, a nationalist party was set out to unify China under one central government. The KMT had in its possession adequate means to quash
the idealistic CCP and did so on a number of occasions. Some of which led to rebellions such as the Long March led by Mao Tse–tung.
China, over history has experienced phases of both Nationalism and
Sinocentrism, both of which can be damaging to a developing country attempting to compete economically in the global market. These ideas can relate
back to the ancient religion of confucianism. " Confucianism has been instramental in the shaping of China's leadership. Not only does it emphasize a
rigid hierarchy kept in place by virtuous behavior. But it also holds that strict adherence to proper behavior actually leads to correct thinking. "
Accompanying Nationalism and Sinocentrism was rebellion and unrest. Twenty–four historic dynasties followed a common pattern of development. At
the beginning of a new dynasty, a period of national unity under virtuous and benevolent rule flourished and usually was accompanied by intellectual
excitement. A

Essay on Chinese Dynasties
Chinese Dynasties: 1. Shang: Also called Yin, dynasty that was China's earliest historically verifiable state 1766 B.C. to 1122 B.C. A. Reason's for
Rise: Unlike the early accounts of history by the Chinese, there is archaeological evidence of the Shang, who built their cities in northern China
around the eastern parts of the Yellow River. For this reason they are called the Yellow River civilization. They were a bronze age people;
bronze–working seems to have entered China around 2000 BC (about one thousand years after its invention in Mesopotamia). B. Territorial Location

Shang–Ti also regulated human affairs as well as ruling over the material universe. This dual function would, in the Chou dynasty, be attributed to a
more abstract figure, "t'ien," or "Heaven." The Shang also believed that their ancestors dwelled in heaven after their death and
continued to show an interest in their familiy and descendants. The obligations within the family included, therefore, the ancestors. Failing in one's
duties to the ancestors could bring all sorts of disaster on a family. All of these divine and semi–divine figures, from Shang–Ti to a family's ancestors,
were sacrificed to. However, we know little of the nature or the frequency of these sacrifices. We do know, however, that in the Chou dynasty only the
king could sacrifice to Shang–Ti; it is highly likely that Shang–Ti was the "local god" of the Shang kings who was subsequently elevated in
order to elevate the Shang themselves. The one disturbing fact of Shang sacrifice is that it certainly involved humans; slaves and prisoners of war
were often sacrificed by the hundreds when a king died. Lesser numbers were sacrificed at the founding of a palace or temple. F. Major reasons for
decline and fall: 2. Chou: dynasty (1122–221 B.C.) that ruled ancient china from almost a thousand years establishing a distinctive political and
cultural characteristics which would be identified with China for the next 2,000 years. A. Reason's for Rise: B. Territorial Location & size

China
China is the world's most populated country with the population of 1.3 billion people. Since there were so many people in China they had to think
about a way to control population so this is where the one–child policy was made. It officially restricts married, urban couples to having only one child,
while allowing exemptions for several cases, including twins. This policy was introduced in 1978 and initially applied to first–born children from
1979. The policy is enforced at the local level through fines that are imposed based on the income of the family and other factors.

Napoleon once warned, "China is a sleeping giant. Let her sleep, for when she wakes she will shake the world." The United States of America has

China as a powerful, emerging nation that is attempting to catch up with America. Evidently China is on the rise and no one can deny that fact as news

I will conclude by mentioning a possible direction China and America are heading.
In doing this research, I have mainly used Land Without Ghosts edited by Arkush and Lee and Chinese–American: School and community Problems
which is comprised of personal first hand testimonies as a primary source and several different secondary sources which I have gathered from the UCI
Langson library. Using the limited resources available, I will articulate some of the arguments that the secondary source authors make. In order to
highlight the details of problems Chinese students faced in America and also in China I will use Qian Ning's Chinese Students Encounter America and
Leo A. Orleans' Chinese Students in America. In Carola McGiffert's Chinese Images of theUnited States, I will discuss the general Chinese public view
of America and student view in recent times, in order to get some clues on future of Sino–American relations. All the sources mentioned above will
help better understand the significant role of Chinese students studying overseas and its contribution to Sino–American relations.
China prides itself in its oldest civilizations in the world and has the oldest continuous civilization. But when China opened its door to the West, it has
learned from young America how to develop into a leading nation. Remarkably, 150 years of Chinese immigration goes hand in hand with 150 years of
Chinese students studying in America. The

China is well aware of its economic strength, the position in the world it holds, the challenges it will face in coming years and the responsibility on its
part to be shared. This huge economic strength has made china an economic power which, now, can manipulate markets accordingly. E.g. China,
despite of huge world pressure, is not showing her will to re evaluate its currency. Challenges it going to face are, domestic and international, strategic
and economical. Domestic challenges include the inequality in its society where rich is getting richer and poor is getting poorer. International
challenges are to keep its status alive in order to maintain its growth in upward direction when more countries are, after the financial crisis, heading
On one hand China is seeking more and more world markets while on the other hand it is refusing the European or world companies to operate in
more effective way in Chinese markets (Business Day, 2010).

By the time we arrived at the Great Place, I was amazed by the impressive structure and construction of the long Great Wall. Wikipedia inform that
"The Great Wall of China" is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an
east–to–west line across the historical northern borders of China to protect the Chinese states and empires against the raids and invasions of the
various nomadic groups of the Eurasian Steppe. I headed straight to climb the Great Wall and we there were a lot of steep, therefore we need to be
careful. After passing through some section, I started to become tired and have a heavy breath, afterwards gulped multiple bottle. Finished my
hiking, I straightly headed to "Ming Tomb" where some China's emperor were buried here. At night, I enjoyed myself with Chinese traditional
street's snack with a lot of food and beverages with varied characteristic and flavor. They offered a dozen of weird stuff, such as scorpion,
silkworm, larvae, seahorse and even cockroaches skewered on a stick. In addition, they also offer some sweet snacks like pancake with bean paste,
rice cake dried fruit dish and others. I was really curious about the flavor and tried to taste many of these food, some of them were tasty and some
were odd in taste. After enjoying the street's snack, I headed to hotel and took a

Also, while doing business, avoid negative phrasing, and leave a concerned approach as if no offer is off the table. Business is preferred face to face as
opposed to over the phone, as well (Chinese Business Culture). In perspective, the real rules for social and cultural aspects of business in China is
every day etiquette, as they appreciate relationships, kindness, and real consideration of all options to be offered when doing business. They will not
accommodate you in the western way one might be used to, so it's best to learn how to do business their way.
Economy
An ever–growing economy such as China is a large one to take on as a business looking to associate with them. This economy is the grounds for
global growth at this point in time, as they are a major supplier all over the world. Beware when working with China however, that their economy is
not free. They are free to communist directives, and other political influences. Business is largely a victim to corruption, as the law seeks little reform
in a more liberalized economy, and fails to uphold contracts or other business deals (China Economy). Being a third largest export market, China has
shown growth as much as 20% per year over the past five years, and many businesses have already greatly benefited from their success. With a large
population hungry for products, they continue to grow at amazing rates, and have rather low rates of inflation to accompany their business (Facts about
Business in China).

China's Foreign Policy Essay
China's Foreign Policy Since the initial warming of U.S.–China relations in the early 1970's, policymakers have had difficulty balancing conflicting
U.S. policy concerns in the People's Republic of China. In the strange world of diplomacy between the two, nothing is predictable. From Nixon to
Clinton, presidents have had to reconcile security and human rights concerns with the corporate desire for expanded economic relations between the
two countries. Nixon established ties with Mao Zedong's brutal regime in 1972. And today Clinton's administration is trying to influence China's course
from within a close economic and diplomatic relationship. In 1989 the Tiananmen Square Massacre drew public attention to the inconsistent character of
Next, measures adopted following Tiananmen Square are limited and in some cases not fully implemented. And finally, despite it's failure to respect
human rights, China is the largest recipient of World Bank Funds. Under pressure to integrate human rights concerns more closely into overall
U.S.–China policy, Washington has adopted a number of sanctions including restrictions on aid. The Clinton administration has argued that increased
economic integration of China into the world market is the best way to advance human rights. Chinese human rights practices continue to fall far
below internationally accepted standards. Neither the existing U.S. sanctions nor the policy of comprehensive engagement has resulted in human rights
improvements. Now, the United States is trying a number of different plans that are supposed to slowly cause human rights reforms in China. However,
these are limited and in some cases not fully implemented. Although OPIC and TDA programs were suspended, other agencies remained. This sends a
mixed message to China about the seriousness of the United States. Following the massacre, the U.S. and other nations put a moratorium on new World
Bank lending to China. In 1990, the policy was relaxed. The U.S. government has not used its influence at the World Bank to pressure China into
improving its human rights practices. In Burma, human rights practices are basically the same as in China. For Burma, the United States

A Brief History of China Essay
China is on the verge of becoming the next Super Power like the United States and Great Britain. The reason why I am writing this paper is to relay
information to you regarding China as it was and how it is now. China blossomed quicker than any other country in the beginning and later stalled in

Next came the Sui Dynasty (581 AD– 618 AD). This dynasty had improved upon the Great Wall. This wall protected the enemies of China,
especially keeping their mortal enemy the Mongolians at bay. This dynasty had also created the first manufactured canal known as the Grand Canal.
The Grand Canal length is 2,400 miles long and 36 feet wide (Hook 185). They had also let the words of Buddhism reach across the land among the
people with no interference. To assist in bridging the gap between the poor peasants and the rich upper class, a monetary class was established and
enforced throughout the land (Hook 184). The last dynasty is the Sung. The Sung Dynasty (960 AD–1279 AD) had created huge cities of the time that
allowed social programs (such as public postal services and welfare programs) to be created. This ignition of public meetings and exchanges of ideas
assisted in the creation of new ideas and inventions. An example of this was gunpowder (which was very unstable, but highly usable) for the Chinese
Military. Inventions of great magnitude will have come during this era. Most of all was the invention of gunpowder made from saltpeter. These
inventions were the handgun (known as a fire–lance), grenades (small clay pottery the size of a fist) and exploding mines (ceramics disks the size of
large belt buckles) (Fairbank

In our interview section we present one interview with Martha Qorro, professor in English language, on the question about the language of instruction
in Tanzania. She is of the opinion that the best way to teach English is not to use it as the language of instruction. She also responds to the question
why the question of language of instruction has become such a sensitive political issue in Tanzania. In our second interview Jerome Verdier, chairman
of the Liberia Truth and Reconciliation Commission, points to the fact that the TRC's part of the conflict resolution is nothing new. Liberia has a
history of resolving community conflicts at the round table. But in the past there were no prolonged conflicts, such as the recent 4 year period of

Essay on China's One Child Policy
The one child policy was adopted to help improve economic, environment, and population problems in China. The policy was used to limits the
number of children that couples can have. When , the law was introduced it was only supposed to help with the overpopulation but , it has caused
many children to be left and abandoned. Although China has a population problem, the one child policy was not the right way to handle the situation.
There has been a long history of China's one child policy, since it was first introduces in 1979 by a Chinese Leader Deng Xiaoping (Rosenberg n.p).
The law was meant to be temporary and used to control the population; however it is still in use today (Rosenberg n.p). When the policy was first
enforced, it only...show more content...
Some argue that the policy is beneficial to sustain the economy, society, population, resources and the environment. About four hundred million
births have been prevented with the policy helping with the population problem (Wan n.p). Pollution and a lack of resources are some of the
reason that people think the one child policy is necessary. Another reason that people think the policy is necessary is if the population continues to
grow it would be harder for people to find food, causing people to starve. People see the policy as a good thing because it is helping the
government by not using as many resources. The punishments for China's one child policy are extremely harsh and inhumane. For instance
relatives were put in jail because they were related to a family who broke the law by having two boys (Hanworth n.p). Other cases include: a baby
being run over by a car by Chinese officials, a mother being forced to abort seven months in her pregnancy, and a doctor killed a baby right after he
/she was born (Maessan n.p.) It's hard to believe people would find it ok to murder children for population problems. One Reason the policy should
be ended is that is a violation of rights. Why should the government be allowed to control the number of kids born in a family? It is also not right for
the government to punish people for having an addition child. Fines, abortions, sterilization, and infanticide are being used

They will live with the old people because they could like to look after them. This is quite important for Chinese family. Chinese believe that life goes b

many differences in comparison with the North American houses. The building materials used in construction is the most distinct difference from
North American's. A typical Chinese farmhouse is built of sun–dried bricks or pounded earth, because wood is too expensive and scarce to use. On the
other hand, many typical Northern American houses are built of wood. In addition to the variations of building materials used in constriction, the
architectural planning of a traditional Chinese houses is also unique. A traditional Chinese house is built according to the "Court–yard System'; where
by houses are built around a courtyard which is invisible to the outside. Windows are covered by a thin oiled paper which is also invisible in order
to protect robbery and keep privacy. Nowadays, the traditional housing system seldom appears in Hong Kong because it is too expensive and may
cost millions of dollars. Moreover, the housing in Hong Kong is usually apartments and skyscrapers which is different from the ancient China. The

Essay On China
Since initiating market reforms in 1978, China has shifted from a centrally–planned to a market–based economy and has experienced rapid economic
growth at 10%. With a population of 1.3 billion, China is the second largest economy by nominal GDP (IMF estimates, 2017) and is increasingly
playing an important and influential role in development and in the global economy. US has played the role of world's largest economy for more
than a century. US is a highly developed mixed economy, with the largest nominal GDP (IMF estimates, 2017). However, both the IMF and the World

misleading just a few years later, and even more misleading when projected
