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."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Research indicates (WTO 2003) that the majority of Chinese tourists join touring groups in which a multitude of countries are visited on a pre-arranged package tour. Typically those who participate in such tours are willing to spend large amounts of money both on the tour itself and in the destination countries visited. It is indicated that the majority of those who buy such products will do so during the three major official Chinese holidays consisting of the Chinese New Year, The May holiday or the National Holiday (WTO 2003). Despite the growth of the Chinese outbound tourist sector research would seem to indicate that the top destinations for Chinese tourists remain those with a closer geographic proximity with Hong Kong and Macau receiving the largest number of visitors at 47m and 10.6m respectively. Other top destinations include Vietnam (3.8m), South Korea (3.6m) and Japan (2.8m) (Euromoitor 2007). As such one can see that all of these top destinations lie within the Asian region and one may debate as to whether or not those figures included under Hong Kong and Macau should truly represent outbound tourism now that these are an integral part of China. Yet when these figures are compared to China's inbound tourism sector there is a discrepancy between the counties Chinese tourists visit and those who visit China as inbound tourists. Research indicates that the top five countries providing inbound tourism for China in 2006 were South Korea, Japan, The US, Russia and Malaysia. The rest of the top 10 providers of inbound tourist visitors included four other Asian nations and one EU country (Travel guide China 2010)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the impact of the Chinese New Year festivities in San Francisco with respect to assimilation. The paper relates that the formerly private parades and events were opened up in the 1950s and served to blend the cultures of the United States and China. The paper then discusses how the economy of San Francisco's Chinatown community benefited as the Chinese attempted to shake the communist label.

From the Paper
"In the cosmopolitan city of San Francisco, many cultures have come together to give the city a unique identity. Other than Chinese immigrants, those from Japan, Europe, and South America have put their unique stamp on the city's personality. The Chinese had a rather challenging period of assimilation due to the connection with Communism in their home country. By capturing the imagination of their new homeland they found ways to bring their worlds peacefully together. While Chinese immigrants have a rather large presence in the famous Chinatown neighborhood, their daily lives have been touched by heavy influences of..."

Abstract
This paper discusses an article that talks about the English Canadian movement approach to Black and Chinese individuals in the workforce. The paper relates that each was treated with varying degrees of racism although the Chinese were handled with much more hostility. The paper explains that it was thought that these hard-working people were bringing crime to Canada and damaging the economy.

From the Paper
"The article discussing the treatment of Black and Chinese individuals in Canada during the period of 1880-1914 shows very distinct prejudices with each group. For example, there was an underlying belief that Black workers were interested in assimilating into the English White Canadian society. Conversely, they were under a completely different opinion about the motivations of the Chinese workers that were in Canada. They believed that..."

Abstract
The paper states that Dell's consumer base is not a typical American or Canadian, but a wide range of customers from developing regions like China, India and Brazil. The paper comments that China's growth and internal market developments over the last couple of decades have been an incentive for numerous companies to enter this highly profitable market: Dell is one of them. The paper highlights that Dell's global sales objective is to penetrate the lucrative Chinese market and identifies the threats and opportunities for Dell in doing so. The paper also includes a discussion on opportunities for Dell to enter other global markets.

From the Paper
"For Dell, the Indian market is very applied to the business system that the company promotes. Indeed, the face-to-face system can work especially well when the customers are generally business entities and Dell can sell in India directly to the many software producers who need a reliable hardware platform on which to operate. As such, the recommendation for Dell is to penetrate the local Indian market starting in the large software producing centers and continuing with the urban areas, where more computers users are likely to be located."

Abstract
Hong Kong has been, for most of its history, something of an anomaly. For most of the territory's history it was a British colony, but it had almost no British colonialists in residence, with its population in the 1970s being 98% Chinese. Moreover, although it was a British territory for 140 years, its "significant history" dates from 1949 when the Communist Revolution in China utterly transformed its political, social and economic character. This anomalous aspect of Hong Kong will be highlighted in this essay, which will explore the economic transformation of Hong Kong in the modern period. The thesis will be argued that this anomalous aspect of Hong Kong played a critical role in its economic transformation in the critical post-war period as it allowed the Crown Colony/city-state to neatly straddle the primary ideological, territorial, cultural, political and economic demarcation lines in Asia. In this regard, it was not only able to draw upon diverse sources for its development, but its value to all major players in the region was such that everyone had an interest in Hong Kong's continuing success and development. In this regard, its anomalous character represents Hong Kong's critical strategic advantage in its modern economic transformation.

Abstract
The writer of this paper analyzes the connection between China's booming economy and the substantial rise in stress levels among the population. This paper details the various factors which contributed to the high levels of stress and depression, including 20 years of economic reforms, increasing competition, job loss and the breakdown of the traditional family unit. This paper supplies extensive data and statistics relevant to the topic of this paper. In China, suicide accounts for 3.6% of all deaths and is the number five cause of death. China's economy is currently growing at an average of 10% per year, the highest growth rate in the world. The writer of this paper contends and explains why the wealthier China became, the more susceptible the population was to mental disorders. The increasing competition within the economic structure is impacting negatively on people's lives. This paper also discusses the strategies being implemented in China to reduce the suicide rate. Beijing opened its first Suicide Research and Prevention Center in 2003 and also launched a 24-hour hot-line to help people cope with psychological problems in hopes of preventing potential suicides. This paper contains 2 graphs and 3 tables relevant to China's economy, employment and suicide rates.

From the Paper
"The education level amongst Chinese has not been able to catch up with the fast growing economy. Study showed there were still over 10% of the Chinese population still considered to be illiterate. Unemployment is also a problem for China and one that many common citizens find difficult to accept under the communist government. Aggressive reforms of state-owned firms have laid off many laborers with no social insurance, medical benefits and few opportunities for re-employment. Many government-operated companies have trimmed down its work force in order to compete in the open market with other privately owned firms. Official figures show that more than 6 million laid-off state workers have not found new jobs, with an additional 10 million new workers entering the labor market each year."

Future of The Exhibition Industry

From the Paper
''No one could possibly predict the future of the exhibition industry in the world, let alone in China. Nevertheless, looking at the present situation of the industry and what might its implications be on the future of the industry, we can assess what possible outcomes the future holds.
In regard to the government's involvement, experts believe that the government will stop any participation in or contribution to the industry in the future. In addition; they expect that the government will allow a variety of market entities to engage in free competition on an equal grip in accordance to basic rules (Tang, 2003). Only by doing so can the sector foster increased quality and growth. This is to say, not just being written in laws and regulations, the Chinese government should really give the relative right and functions to the enterprises and obey rules itself. The State Economic and Trade Commission and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce are putting together a set of laws for the management of the exhibition industry. It is believed that in the future, exhibition companies will be the principal sponsors of exhibitions and fairs (Tang, 2003). There are an increasing number of local governments who are moving from managing exhibitions to just providing guidance and service. Moreover; they are starting to help exhibition organizers and service providers to coordinate (Tang, 2003). This will eventually lead to dissimilarity in exhibitions, more specific fairs and right grouping of products. And the industry will follow its own economic logic.''

From the Paper
"A survey by Guizhou Property Exchange Center indicates that many consumers are very disappointed by the poor services they had received from real estate agents in Guiyang City, the capital of Guizhou province, with a population of 1.36 million (Shibao, 2000). Prospective home shoppers and renters have indicated their reluctance to use the agents' services as a result of the bad experiences (Shibao, 2000). A research report by Shanghai Real Estate Economic Association for the preparation of WTO entry cited that, in comparison with companies in developed countries, China's local real estate companies have the following weaknesses: 1) lack of experience attributable to their short existence, 2) limited competing capability due to smaller sizes, 3) insufficient capital and backward marketing means, 4) lower management skills; and 5) the overall lack of customer service capabilities (Shibao, 2000).
According to a survey reported in the China Construction magazine, about 59 percent of the urban residents in China now own their own homes. The average living space for most of these urban residents that own their homes is 50-80 square meters; the majority of households surveyed have 2 to 4 people (Shibao, 2000). About 19.7 percent of such respondents live in rented dwellings and 11.5 percent receive rental subsidies from their employers or work units (Shibao, 2000). It was also reported that 21.9 percent of the residents surveyed indicated they would like to purchase new houses with a size of 70-150 square meters within 5 years (Shibao, 2000). Thus, the realty business is highly developed in many cities of China and has become an index of local economic status. However, due to some misunderstanding of realty business and improper orientation of market research in this industry, the existence of overpriced realty has become a commonality. This kind of violation of the relative relationship between demand and supply itself is a problem valuable to research. "
