The article looks at the contentious nature of anthropology in the 1990s, where China feared that modernizing forces would destroy its traditions and values. However, with time the Chinese people in China have influenced social change by developing technologies that have affected people's culture. As much as the Chinese back at home have maintained their culture, the technological developments that take place in China have influenced the global culture in various ways. China is one of the countries that have been on the forefront in developing newer technologies, which have challenged its own traditional cultures whilst influencing the culture of the western world.
Pearce, R. (2006). Effects of Cultural and Social Structural Factors on the Achievement of White, and Chinese-American Students at School Transition Points. American Educational Research Journal, Vol. 43, No. 1, pp. 75-101. The author acknowledges the role played by Chinese workers in various countries. He advances that the overseas Chinese have shaped the whole region's commercial success. The finding presented in the article is that the Chinese business culture has laid emphasis on building relationships, which is limited among the American cultures.

Pearce (2006) advances that Chinese people in the United States, have achieved high levels of educational achievement. He argues that the unique culture of the Chinese elites in America, has given them an excellent reputation as a 'model minority'. This is because Chinese culture has taught the learners the value of resilience and persistence to task. The Chinese learners are identified, by their strong ability to whether school transitions and perform highly. This culture has given them recognition, and affected their American counterparts, by challenging their ability to undertake their studies.

The fact that communism still dominates affairs in the country can limit or discourage foreign investors. This is probably one of the main reasons for which large corporations are hesitant about investing large amounts of money in China (Weatherbee & Emmers 42). The masses no longer express interest in U.S. cultural values because it appears that the U.S. has experienced significant problems consequent to the 9/11 events. This enabled China

Mao wanted control of China's destiny -- and he wanted that destiny out of the hands of the religionists, whose doctrine was not formulated by him but by an outside body.

Despite the high costs the Four Modernizations implied, China succeeded to enter "into the milieu of international bank loans, joint ventures, and whole panoply of once-abhorred capitalist economic practices." As it might be inferred from above, this task was not an easy one, and China's officials had first of all to convince the rather-conservative part of the population of the necessity of these reforms and of the continuity of the

Another interesting fact is that compared with other countries, Chinese labor is much cheaper yet there is still a high skill level. Because
("Chinese History.") The Second Opium War would involve: the contention that the Chinese and the British would have for each other. As the British wanted greater controls of the ports and land routes. Yet, the Chinese felt that the treaty to end the First Opium War was excessive.
