This document provides an overview of China's economic growth and its impact on the world economy. It discusses several key topics:
1) The ongoing US-China trade war and tensions as the US challenges China's rise.
2) China's transformation from a capital importer to a major capital exporter through foreign direct investments.
3) The Belt and Road Initiative which aims to boost infrastructure and connectivity but faces concerns about debt traps.
4) China's increasing trade ties with emerging economies and how fluctuations in Chinese demand can significantly impact countries reliant on exports to China.
ISS Risk Special Report: China's Challenge to the World Economic Order, by Er...Hrishiraj Bhattacharjee
Now well into the second decade of the 21st century, the world is witnessing the true extent of China’s economic, political, and growing military reach. This reach and integration into the globalized world has been gradual, incremental, and quiet over the past three decades. In the shadows, China has accelerated significantly in the past 10 years. What does this mean for the established global order? This paper is a roadmap looking to join the dots on that journey.

Trade Wars and Sanctions: The Sino-American Confrontation and Japan Part 2

Foreign trade and its importance in the economy of Iran in the international ...Private
Iran is one of the world’s most closely watched nations as a historical entity, about 2.500 years ago, of the Achaemenids Dynasty (559 to 330 BC) period.
The Islamic Republic of Iran (denomination after the revolution in 1979), also know as Persia territory, as historical entity and despite political, religious, and historic dimensions of the society, Iranians maintain a deep connection to their past.
The Iran’s economy is a mirror of the International Community nowadays. Economic policies and decision-making process in economic terms are guests from the international sanctions, particularly the unilateral sanctions from United States of America, which accuse Iran of supporting international terrorism and maintain the nuclear programme as global weapons.
Kinzer et al. (2005: 61) wrote about the impact of sanctions against countries, he said “this isolation has hampered the short and long term growth of its markets, restricted the country´s access to high technology, and impeded foreign investment”.
A form of foreign pressure, sanctions are typically meant to alter the policies of other countries. There is much pessimism on whether they ever work.
The main question, related with this working paper, and we should do is how Iran can trade in the economic global arena, in the contemporary global markets in the sanctions context? Can we found true economic policies in this context and with the contemporary conservative politicians, with the leadership of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, since 2005? Can the economic sanctions destabilize the Iran government, the target of the International Community? Understand the political economy, especially the foreign trade and the impact of the international sanctions in the economy of Iran is the purpose of this paper, with special focus on the United States sanctions, in the line of Marinov (2005).
We using the electronic database of The World Factbook published by Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), The Statistical Centre of Iran, World Trade Organization, United Nations and European Union, and a qualitative research based in published academic work until 2003.

People’s Republic of China which was founded in 1949 was in the position of a self-enclosed economy. Together with the economic reforms carried out in 1980s, China has entered into a transition period from socialist system to free market economy. Together with these reforms, China became a member of IMF in 1989 and World Trade Organization in 2001. As a result of these international expansion policies, the country takes the attention with its high growing rates and becomes the focus of the international capital. Especially after the country became a member in World Trade Organization in 2001, foreign trade volume has expanded and foreign direct investment flow is increased. Foreign trade reforms in China are analyzed in this study because of the outstanding growth in Chinese trade in recent years.

O Acordo de Paris, firmado em dezembro de 2015, prevê que os países adotarão políticas nacionalmente determinadas para sustentar o compromisso global de evitar o risco de uma mudança climática descontrolada.
Signatário do acordo, o Brasil apresentou suas Contribuições Nacionalmente Determinadas com a meta de reduzir em 37% as suas emissões de gases de efeito estufa até 2025, em comparação com 2005.
Cinco anos após Paris, o mundo é colhido pela pandemia da Covid-19, Além dos impactos de curto prazo, ela reforça as tendências globais preexistentes de crescimento anêmico, alto desemprego e aumento das desigualdades sociais. O Brasil é um dos países mais atingidos pela pandemia.
A urgência de retomar o crescimento é uma oportunidade ou uma ameaça à transição para uma economia de baixo carbono? Quais setores e tecnologias deveriam merecer maior atenção para compatibilizar a urgência da retomada e os requisitos da sustentabilidade? Como financiar a "retomada verde"? Qual o papel do setor privado e do Estado, dos organismos multilaterais, dos bancos públicos e do mercado de capitais? Quais as implicações desse desafio para a política externa brasileira?

A pandemia da Covid-19 obrigou ao fechamento das escolas e à adoção de novos meios para dar um mínimo de continuidade ao processo de ensino-aprendizado. A experiência não é vivida da mesma forma por todos os países, muito menos por diferentes grupos sociais dentro de cada um deles. Além de lidar com a situação presente, os gestores públicos têm de planejar o futuro: qual o impacto desse período sobre alunos e professores, como minorar danos e encurtar distâncias eventualmente alargadas durante o período de suspensão das aulas presenciais, o que deve ser incorporado ao processo de ensino-aprendizado de modo mais permanente?
Para responder a essas e outras perguntas o Todos pela Educação produziu um nota técnica baseada na experiência de países que já passaram por longos períodos de suspensão do ano letivo devido a guerras, epidemias, terremotos, etc.

A pandemia do Covid-19 está submetendo todos os principais sistemas de saúde do mundo a um impacto sem precedentes nos últimos 100 anos. A capacidade de resposta dos sistemas depende não apenas da sua organização e disponibilidade de recursos em tempos normais, mas da prontidão que cada um dos sistemas de saúde tem para reagir a situações de emergência. Já há informação suficiente para saber quais os sistemas de saúde que estão respondendo melhor à pandemia e identificar os fatores que explicam a variação no desempenho entre eles.

Computação em Nuvem, Big Data, Blockchain, Inteligência Artificial, a disseminação de um conjunto de novas tecnologias vem mudando a estrutura e o modo de funcionamento do sistema financeiro no mundo e no Brasil. Surgem novas instituições (as fintechs), fronteiras setoriais se tornam permeáveis (empresas tradicionais de outros setores passam a prestar serviços financeiros) e os bancos são obrigados a mudar aceleradamente para não perder a liderança. Os impactos se estendem a todos os serviços financeiros, da concessão de crédito à execução de pagamentos, passando pelo segmento de seguros, entre outros.
Que novo balanço de riscos e oportunidades essas mudanças criam para a economia e a sociedade, para empresas, famílias e indivíduos?

Ainda estão vivas na memória as imagens do derramamento de petróleo que atingiu as praias brasileiras, do Maranhão ao Rio de Janeiro. O choque nos despertou para os riscos a que está exposta a vida marinha num país com uma costa litorânea tão extensa e densamente povoada quanto o Brasil. E para a necessidade de protegê-la, não apenas de "crises agudas" que ganham as manchetes dos jornais, mas também de silenciosos processos de degradação que a ameaçam permanentemente. O desafio do desenvolvimento sustentável não é pequeno na Amazônia azul, incluída a faixa litorânea.
Estamos preparados para enfrentar esse desafio, que se tornará cada vez maior à medida que se intensifique o uso dos recursos do mar, do seu leito e do seu subsolo? Que lições aprendemos com o recente episódio de derramamento de petróleo?

Mesmo nos piores momentos da crise recente, o Brasil continuou a ser um dos destinos importantes do investimento direto estrangeiro no mundo. Agora, com a melhora da economia brasileira, a retomada de programas de concessão e privatização na União e nos Estados e a farta liquidez internacional, as perspectivas são de crescimento significativo do fluxo de investimentos diretos estrangeiros para o país. Há sinais iniciais nessa direção, mas persistem dúvidas no horizonte.
Para avaliar as perspectivas do investimento direto estrangeiro no Brasil e seu impacto sobre o crescimento da economia nos próximos anos, a Fundação FHC tem o prazer de convidar para a palestra do economista Renato Baumann, um dos maiores especialistas brasileiros em economia internacional, hoje Subsecretário para investimento estrangeiro da Secretaria-Executiva da CAMEX.

3. 1. The US-China Trade War: Will
America crush China?
• Since March 2018, Trump administration of the US is on the
offensive against China.
• On March 1st, the US invoked Section 232 of the Trade
Expansion Act and imposed 25% tariff on steel imports and
10% tariff on aluminum imports.
• On March 22nd, the US announced that it would apply
Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 on 1333 import items
worth 50 billion dollars from China as a retaliation against
China’s infringement of US intellectual property rights.
• On April 16th, US Department of Commerce forbade
American companies to transact with ZTE—a Chinese
telecom equipment supplier—on the charge of illegal
transaction with Iran.
• In May, negotiation between the US and China took place,
resulting in the lifting of trade ban against ZTE and an
agreement to “avoid trade war.”
3
4. The US led trade liberalization until
recently
• However, the US opened fire against China on July 6th
by imposing 25% tariff on 34 billion dollars worth of
imports from China. China retaliated on the same day.
• In August and September, the US taxed another 16
billion dollars and 200 billion dollars imports from
China.
• Since the Second World War, the US has created the
free trade regime—supported by GATT and IMF—in the
world economy.
• Until 1970, the US ran trade surpluses and returned its
earnings back to the world in the form of international
investments. Since late 1970s, the US has been running
trade deficits, which has expanded to 400-800 billion
dollars in the 21st century. The US has financed its
deficit by capital inflow from Japan, China, and others.
4
5. The US-China Trade War as a
Turning Point
• Being a transitional and developing economy, China
had protected its domestic industries by high trade
barriers until the 1990s. Upon joining the WTO in
2001, China lowered its tariff but its average tariff
rate is still around 10%. In October, China
announced the reduction of its average tariff to
7.5%.
• Since Trump was elected president, the US has
ceased to be the champion of the free trade regime,
while China is advocating for its preservation.

10. The necessity to change our views on
the Chinese and world economies
• “China is ‘the factory of the world.’ It is a major
production base of multinational enterprises”
“China is a low-cost manufacturing base in the
global value chain” ”Japan and Korea export
machinery and core components to China, and
China assembles end-products and export to the
US.”
• These are the views shared by East Asian
economists. They do depict one aspect of Chinese
economy. But another aspect is gaining importance.
10
11. In the beginning of the 21st century, more than
half of China’s exports went to G7. In recent
years, the emerging economies are gaining
importance in China’s export and import

12. 2. China as a Capital Exporter
• 1978-1993: The
Developing Country
Stage
• China often sufferd
from trade deficits.
When the economy
overheated, trade
deficits increased,
and the government
adopted austerity.
• Trade deficits were
financed by Capital
inflow

12
13. 1994-2011: The Newly Industrialized Country
Stage
• China enjoyed trade surpluses during this period
• Huge inflow of foreign direct investment
• Flow of portfolio investments and outward foreign
direct investment (FDI) were restricted
• Since both current account and capital account had
surplus, huge amount of foreign currency poured into
the country, pressing the Renminbi to appreciate
• In order to avoid appreciation, the central bank kept on
buying foreign currency in the foreign exchange market,
which led to the accumulation of foreign reserves
13
14. After 2012: The Advanced Industrialized
Country Stage
• China continues to enjoy huge trade surpluses
• Deficits in the service trade account enlarged,
mainly because of the increase of outward tourism
• Outward FDI expanded. It even surpassed inward
FDI in 2016.
• There were occasional outflows in portfolio and
other investments, mainly caused by speculation
• China has become a major capital exporter, in the
form of outward FDI and portfolio and other
investments
14
15. Compared to China’s position in international
trade and capital investment, the presence of
Renminbi in international transaction is still
very small
• In December 2017, for example, US dollar was used in
41% of all international transactions, followed by Euro
(39%), Pound Sterling (3.8%), Japanese Yen (3.6%),
Canadian dollar, Swiss Franc, Australian dollar, and
Renminbi (0.98%).
• Renminbi is not as useful as other international
currencies, because China keeps on restricting capital
account transactions.
• 97% of Reminbi’s international exchange is with US
dollars. In this sense, Renminbi is still a currency
dependent on US dollar.
15
16. 3. The Belt and Road Initiative:
Expectations and Doubts
• Among 195 economies around the world, the amount
of trade with China is greater than that with the US in
136 economies.
• Being the greatest trading nation in the world, China
can no longer act as an ordinary developing country
which mainly pursues its own interest.
• China must contribute to the preservation and
development of the international trade regime (WTO)
and the governance mechanisms of the world economy
(IMF, World Bank).
• Especially when the US is taking an “America First”
policy and has started destroying the regime, China’s
responsibility is even more greater.
• The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) shows the willingness
of China to assume such responsibility. 16
17. The Proposal of “One Belt One
Road” (OBOR)
• In September 2013, China’s President Xi Jinping advocated
for the building of the “Silk Road Economic Belt” and the
“Maritime Silk Road of the 21st Century”.
• “Silk Road Economic Belt” is a development initiative that
tries to connect inland China, Central Asia, Russia, Eastern
Europe.
• “Maritime Silk Road of the 21st Century” is a development
initiative in Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Middle East,
and Southern Europe.
• State-owned banks provide the finance, state-owned
construction companies build bridges, power stations, ports,
etc.
• The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) was
established by China with the investments by more than 50
countries in 2015. AIIB has not granted loans to OBOR
projects yet, but it is likely that AIIB will help building the
OBOR. 17
18. The share of imports from China in total import of
each country
Connections with Russia and Central Asia, South East Asia, Eastern and Western
Africa will be important for China’s exports 18
19. The share of exports to China in total export of
each country
Connections with Africa, Middle East, Australia, and South America will be important
for China’s imports
19
20. From One Belt One Road (OBOR)
to Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)
• As the former maps show, Europe has the weakest
trade connection with China in the world. Trade with
Africa, Asia (excluding Japan and Hong Kong), Latin
America and the Caribbean is growing.
• The initial idea of OBOR was to build a trans-Eurasian
transportation network to have a better connection
with Europe. However, countries along the Belt and
Road are more important as trade partners for China.
• “One Belt, One Road” has a Sino-centric tone. It is good
that the BRI now includes Africa and Latin America.
Japan can and will cooperate with China in individual
projects.
20
21. Some Doubts
• Some people such as Vice President Pence of the
US criticize that China is using loans and
infrastructure projects to lure the countries in Asia,
Africa, and Latin America to expand its influence.
• They say that China is placing “debt traps” and
pressures poor countries to hand over the
ownership of infrastructure projects.
• China needs to improve the transparency of its
intension and invite foreign participation in the
projects. China should consider improving the
terms of loans in the favor of recipient countries.
21
22. 4. The Expansion of China’s Trade and its
Impact on Emerging Economies
The Case of Iron Ore
• Since 2013, China produces 800 million tons of steel
every year, which is roughly a half of world production.
• China imports two thirds of iron ore traded
internationally.
• Due to the surge of China’s demand, iron ore price
increased six-fold from 2005 to 2011.
• But after 2012, because of the deceleration of China’s
iron and steel industry and also the improvement in
supply, iron ore price dropped by 80%.
• Sierra Leone, a country that depends heavily on iron
ore export to China, suffered -20% GDP growth in 2015.

26. The Impact of China’s Exports on the
Manufacturing Industries in other Countries
• Since 2009, China has become the number 1 exporter
in the world. In 2016, China’s exports accounted for
13.1% of the world’s total.
• 93% of China’s export are manufactured goods. The
manufacturing industries of other countries are
pressured by goods imported from China.
• In South Africa, for example, the total employment of
manufacturing decreased from 1.5 million in 1990 to
below 1.2 million in 2010. Industries such as garment,
shoes, textile, and furniture were heavily damaged by
the inflow of Chinese goods. In 2007, the South
African Government imposed a tariff on garment
imports to protect the domestic industry.
26
27. Trade with China pressures South
African manufacturing through three
routes
• First, Chinese goods compete with domestic goods in
the domestic market
• Second, Chinese goods flow into other countries in
southern Africa, which have been the export market
for South African manufacturing.
• Third, South African currency appreciates due to the
surge of export of primary goods such as iron ore to
China, which leads to the difficulty of exporting
manufactured goods from South Africa.
• Other resource-rich, industrialized countries in the
global South, such as Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand, and
the Philippines are experiencing similar pressures
from China.
27
28. Some of the industrialized countries in the
South are pushed back to the status of primary
goods exporters mainly because of the trade
with China

30. A Revival of the Center-Periphery
Structure
• Raul Prebisch, who established ECLAC and UNCTAD in
the United Nations, and Hans Singer pointed out in
1950 that the world economy consists of an
industrialized “Center” and an underdeveloped
“periphery” that supplies primary goods to the center.
• They argued that countries that specialize in primary
goods exports tend to grow slower than industrialized
countries.
• Now China is becoming the new center, while pushing
the Asian, African, Latin American countries towards
more specialization in primary goods exports.
30
31. The curse of natural resources
• The Prebisch-Singer Thesis has once been forgotten
because of the rise of oil exporting countries. It was the
basis of “import substitution” strategy in Latin America,
which is regarded to be a failure.
• Sachs and Warner (2001) revived the Thesis under a
new name, “the Curse of Natural Resources.” They
showed that countries that export primary goods tend
to grow slower than industrialized countries.
• I think the crucial advantage of industrialized countries
is their flexibility. They can easily switch from one
export item to another, while it is difficult for primary
goods exporters to switch from one to another. In the
case of agriculture, it takes at least one year.

32. 5.The Future of the World
Economy
• The per capita GDP of China in 2017 was $8,827. By
increasing it by 40%, China will reach the threshold of a
high income country ($12,500). At this point, China’s
whole GDP will be almost equal to the US.
• I forecast that this will happen during 2025-2030.
• However, at that point China’s population will reach its
peak of 1.44 billion, and then it will start to decrease.
• China’s working age population (aged 16-64) has
already started to decrease since 2014. China’s
economic growth will be constrained by its labor supply.
32
33. The Future of the World Economy
• China’s growth will also be constrained from the
demand side. First, domestic infrastructure investments
has had a great progress during the past ten years. The
length of high-speed rail has surpassed 22 thousand
kilometers. However, there will be few promising new
projects. Secondly, it will be difficult for the Chinese
people to consume as much as the Americans, because
of its high population density.
• The US’s population, which is currently 329 million, is
forecast to keep on increasing, surpassing 400 million in
the 2050s.
• Therefore, although China’s GDP will exceed that of the
US before 2030, China will not become the sole
economic hegemon of the world. China and the US will
be the two largest economies in the world. 33
34. The Problem of Sino-US Relationship
• The cause of the US’s trade deficit is its budget
deficit.
• As long as the US has a very strong economic
power, other countries will be willing to buy its
Treasury bonds and keep them as foreign reserves.
As long as other countries keep on buying Treasury
bonds, trade deficit is not a problem for the US.

35. The Problem of Sino-US
Relationship
• The United States‘ net international liability at the end of
2017 stood at 7.7 trillion dollars, which was 40% of its GDP.
Foreigners owned 6.2 trillion dollars of US Treasury
securities, of which 19% was owned by China, 17% by Japan.
• The US has supplied a huge amount of international
currency through its budget deficit and international
liabilities. For the lenders such as Japan and China, there has
been a potential risk of US dollar’s depreciation. However,
so far that risk has not materialized.
• The main cause of US budget deficit is its huge military
spending.
• The US bears 36% of all military expenditures in the world,
while its GDP is only 22% of the world’s total.
35
36. The Future of the World Economy
• Should each country bear military spending in
proportion to its GDP? That will end up in an arm race
between China and the US, and the world will fall into
the Thucydides’s trap.
• The ultimate solution is to let the world evolve into a
“modern state”, where the military force is
monopolized by a single global state.
• It may sound too idealistic. However, the world already
has several governance mechanisms that have supra-
national power, such as WTO, IMF, UNFCCC, etc.
• China’s BRI should also be incorporated in an
international setting, such as the AIIB, which is led by
China, but has many other stakeholders.
