Extra credit blog: China and globalization——ZHENG YAYUAN

  - Is globalization good for China?   For China Economic globalization is a manifestation of the progress of productivity and production relations, which is in line with the market law; capital is profit-seeking, and global investors must tend to place their capital in countries with advanced financial technology and high consumption capacity, because it means more profits, while countries with insufficient production factors can only use parts of their comparative advantages, such as labor and resources, and China's accession to the WTO is After decades of development, the economy entered a new situation when China gradually became an exporter of technology, and the role of China in globalization increased, so it is a mutually reinforcing relationship. The impact of globalization on China has been tremendous. China joined the WTO in 2001 and officially embarked on the path of globalization.

What is the relationship between economy and globalization? 1) Summary Economic prosperity is tied to globalization. With the rapid growth of the world economy, international trade and investment are also expanding rapidly. We no longer consider national borders when buying goods and acquiring information, and economic globalization is irreversible. In order to further understand the role of multinational corporations in economic globalization, this paper explains the scale and geographical distribution of multinational corporations in the global economy, why and how they engage in transnational activities, and the power relationship between multinational corporations and other participants in the global economy. There are multiple links between globalization and economic development. Globalization can be said to be a catalyst for economic growth in several countries. The increased movement of people across borders implies cross-transfer of knowledge, expertise and labor.

 Reading 3: Political globalization 1. Summary This article is about political globalization. Political globalization manifests itself in two main ways. First, politics has gone from one country to the whole world. Domestic politics and international politics are closely linked, and sometimes domestic politics have to obey international politics. Second, political globalization brings about another corresponding result is political multipolarization.

 What is the relationship between culture and globalization? 1) Summary Globalization and culture are mutually reinforcing. Globalization is at the center of modern culture, and cultural practices are at the center of globalization. With the development of economic globalization and the close penetration of economy and culture, the relationship between the nationality and the world of culture is getting closer and closer, so many problems of cultural globalization appear. For cultural rights, for example, Disney's legal department is known around the world for charging royalties for any cultural content that is similar to them, even if it is just similar. Globalization brings labels to culture, such as East Asian culture, West Asian culture, Mediterranean culture, American culture, etc., from which cultural commodities are derived. Culture is fixed by labels and commodities. At the same time, globalization has also promoted the exchange and development of cultures in different coun

 1) Summary Through this book, I understand the concept of globalization and the word globalization, which is not only a concept, but also a phenomenon of the development of human society. Although there are many definitions of globalization, it usually refers to the increasing connections between people in different countries and regions around the world. Human life is not limited to one's home, one's birthplace, or even one's country. We know that beyond the mountains there is the sea, and beyond the sea there is another country. Countries became interdependent in politics, economy and trade. The food we eat and the clothes we wear come from across the ocean. Through the discussion of examples, the author gives us a simple understanding of the process of discussion and research on the concept of globalization. Globalization is not only political and economic, but also social and cultural. 2) Interesting points I find it interesting that the authors disagree with Wallerste

Economic Globalization : Corporations 2020055223 Hyoseung Chae 1. Summary There is a territorial asymmetry between the country's continuous territory and the TNC's discontinuous territory, which, contrary to many conventional wisdom, translates into a complex negotiating process with no clear and completely predictable results. As some writers continue to argue, TNC does not always have the power to go its own way. In the complex relationship between the TNC and the state and other agencies, the consequences of certain negotiation processes are highly contingent. State intelligence still has significant authority over the TNC, including controlling access to its territory and defining operational rules. In cooperation with other countries, that power increases. So the argument that countries are universally powerless in the face of the unstoppable enormous power of "global companies" is nonsense. 2. Interesting Point In particular, American and British companies have

  What is the relationship between the economy and globalization? 1) Summary Amidst the cacophony of opinions on economic globalization, there is a clear consensus that the  business corporation – specifically the transnational corporation (TNC) – is the central actor: the  primary shaper of the global economy.  In reality, this is a highly misleading stereotype. The purpose of this chapter, therefore, is to  provide a more nuanced depiction and explanation of the nature and significance of TNCs in the  processes of economic globalization, an approach that is firmly grounded in the empirical reality of a  highly differentiated geography whilst, at the same time, providing a theoretical basis for understanding  what is, indeed, a highly complex phenomenon. The chapter focuses on five related issues: (1) the scale  and geographical distribution of TNCs in the global economy; (2) why and how corporations engage in  transnational activities; (3) the geographical embeddedness of transnation
