Abstract
This paper discusses China's economic policy and growth refracted through its foreign policies, its geo-political designs, and its internal consumption patters vis-a-vis energy and specifically petroleum. The research design is qualitative in approach and the conclusion is that while China has, in the past, united its foreign policy with that of its economic policy, and visa-versa, it has now begun to unwed these particular governmental dimensions with uncertain results. In the future, China is seen as possibly undermining the economic growth it was worked so hard to achieve by uncoupling foreign and economic policies.

Supply and demand is often used to characterize neoclassical economics and is useful in that the economic investment in capital: human, physical, or intellectual, is the primary driver behind the theory of supply and demand and the meta-theory of neoclassicism. Neoclassical theory prefers that individuals behave rationally in the market which, consequently ensures that products and services are consumed efficiently and that, by extension, enterprises generate profit just as efficiently.

Abstract
This paper traces the rise of the Chinese auto boom since the end of the Great Depression in the 1930s when the US began to reduce trade barriers, coordinate the world economic system and promote world peace. The author argues that for the US to remain competitive, the US must create a progressive policy.

From the Paper
"The gap in competition first began to narrow noticeably in the 70's due to oil price shocks and decreasing foreign exchange values (Foreign Trade, 2008). They grew larger in the '80's and '90's due to the American consumer's appetite for foreign goods and the fact that we were a consumer culture that consumed more and saved less than people in other economic regions such as Europe or Japan.
"The competition continued to narrow when the economic crises of the US began in the new millennium, and the growth of an economy such as China enabled consumers in that country to spend more. Manufacturers began to globalize their markets, and continue the challenge to the traditional economic stanchion of the US such that is the automotive industry, so that Americana consumer's preference toward cheaper foreign goods became a trend as the America economy worsened."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the global economic structure, otherwise referred to as globalism or globalization, has seen increased attention being paid to poverty levels in emerging and developing markets. The writer maintains that understanding poverty and how to alleviate it is a critical component of joining the rank of first world nations. The writer points out that while the list of countries that have encouraged foreign investment and trade is growing, the fact remains that few have experienced the type of economic success that China and India have experienced. The writer argues that the discussion of poverty and its alleviation, vis-a-vis China or indeed any other emerging market, is really a discussion of how these economic structures are re-characterized in respect to the global economy. The writer maintains that the intent is to assist these markets with their internal economic structures, without compromising national integrity, so as to result in a more universal elevation of quality of life standards across the spectrum of their societies.

From the Paper
"By utilizing more accurate measures for poverty, the result is a decidedly different number relative to ascertaining the number of individuals living below the poverty line. The typical measure utilized by most Western nations and international organizations is the $1 per day measure of income which is the point at which individuals can adequately provide for themselves and their families at sustenance level and by this measure, China's poverty level increases dramatically. However, in spite of this divergence over the effectiveness in determining poverty levels, there can be no argument that China has made progress in alleviating poverty through a series of economic and development policy issues that has seen average wage increases for many ..

Abstract
This paper agrees with Maurice Meisner's negative prognosis for China, that there is no likelihood of democratization. The paper believes that instead, China's basically Stalinist state system will continue in aid of high growth capitalist goals that have already produced a large migrant worker surplus, dissent, high corruption, increased crime of all kinds, and promised disaffection. The paper asserts that Meisner is correct on the very high social and political price of what has been undertaken.

From the Paper
"Maurice Meisner's late 1990s assessment of Chinese economic planning and its social effects convey how one should not be distracted by modest political reforms as promising any great liberalization within a People's Republic of China (PRC) regime that remains fundamentally Stalinist. (1999 538) Elsewhere, Meisner referred to a "fearful social price" that is being paid, and will be paid into the future, for high-growth rate capitalist development from which perhaps two-thirds of an immense and deprived population gain, millions of others left behind. (p.532) If one enjoys..."

Abstract
This paper discusses China's economic policies, its monetary policies, and the use of its artificial control over its exchange rate as an unofficial brief of its foreign policy. The writer discusses that while China would never admit that its exchange rate was being utilized to influence its policies internationally, there can be little doubt that its former currency peg to the U.S. dollar and its current managed float currency exchange regime is a powerful negotiating ploy used internationally to improve its positions on trade, foreign relations, and bilateral agreements with various countries.

Abstract
This paper discusses population policy in China over the last fifty years with an emphasis on the one child policy instituted in the 1970s that has greatly reduced the growth rate in the population. As China seeks more and more economic ties to the West the policy of reduced family size and at times forced abortions is a public relations problem, much like child labor, prison labor and similar centrally controlled policies that run afoul of human rights.

From the Paper
"Population policies in the People's Republic of China reflect a real concern about population growth and the huge size of the population but are, at the same time, bound with issues of ideology and social control. Certain highly restrictive policies began in the 1970s and were deemed successful at reducing the size of the population, and especially the rural population. As China seeks more and more economic ties to the West, the policy of reduced family size and at times forced abortions is a public relations problem, much like child labor, prison labor, and similar centrally-controlled policies that run afoul of human rights."

Abstract
This paper discusses how China's influence as an economic power has grown dramatically in the past few decades and how the Chinese have taken advantage of its seemingly endless pool of cheap labor to make itself the center of global manufacturing. The paper relates that this has led to heavy foreign investment, the opening of its economy, and a sharp rise in GDP per capita. The paper also discusses the domestic and foreign policy issues the US must tackle if it wants to retain its hegemon status.

From the Paper
"Next, America must lead the global fight on global warming. Environmental issues are going to be at the forefront in the 21st century and the US must lead the way. The US is currently the leading culprit in carbon emissions which we need to drastically reduce. We need to heavily invest in renewable energy resources, both for the health of our planet and also to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Our industrial plants need to be retrofitted and modernized to cut down on their emissions. The US auto industry needs to raise fuel efficiency standards significantly and also develop cars that will eventually no longer need fuel. Furthermore, every community should have recycling facilities. Americans are filling up too many landfills. The US also needs to join the Kyoto Protocol and then improve on it. America needs to show that the long term interests of our planet greatly outweigh that of our short term economic interests. "

Abstract
This paper considers the issue of a key public policy in the context of China. Specifically the paper addresses the impact of special economic zones (SEZs) on the private sector within China. The paper considers key issues such as the definitions of SEZs, the historical background of the public policy and the impact of the public policy on both businesses operating within China and Chinese society in general. The paper includes an in-depth consideration of private enterprise in China and the economic disparities in the nation. The paper concludes by noting that Despite the success of the policy of special economic zones, one can also see that Chinese public policy still has a long way to go in promoting the interests of both private enterprise and the wider Chinese population.

2.0 Background
3.0 Special Economic Zones
4.0 Issues of Public Policy
5.0 Recommendations and Conclusions

From the Paper
"From a public policy perspective, China implemented the special economic zones at the start of the 1980's. Initially 14 special economic zones were set up between 1980 and 1984, mostly located in the southern costal areas of the country. China's flagship special economic zone was that of Shenzhen, a small fishing village at the start of the era and a major metropolitan and industrial city at the time this research was published (Hutchings 2001). The decision to locate special economic zones on the behalf of Chinese policy makes was chosen for a number of reasons beyond that of addressing issues within the countries economies.
"In the first instance, whilst the new government may be seen as following a general policy of converting China to a capitalist system and encouraging wider levels of integration within the globalised economy. The fact remains that China at the time of the implementation of the special economic zones was still a distinctly communist country. As such, the implementation of a limited program of integration through the special economic zones allowed progressive Chinese policy makers to present the special economic zones as an experiment, rather than a wholesale change of political systems in a single move."

Abstract
The paper discusses the economic and social reforms instituted by Deng Xiaoping following Mao Zedong's death in the late 1970s. The paper then addresses one of the social reforms that was China's current one-child policy which was designed to assist China with the economic burden of having to continue to support such massive population growth. The paper explains that the one-child policy is primarily based on the use of mandated contraception and the observation is made that many of the strides in controlling the population growth in China were actually already underway in the market prior to the one-child policy. The paper considers the future of the one-child policy and notes that demographic trends where family preference is gravitating towards smaller families may make the policy moot in the future.
