What is China?

China ranks among the most frequently studied countries across academic disciplines, appearing in courses on international business, economics, history, political science, cultural studies, and foreign language education. Its scale, rapid development, and global influence make it a compelling subject for analysis from multiple angles. Students are drawn to questions about how China's economy grew into one of the world's most powerful, how its government shapes domestic and foreign policy, and how its distinct cultural identity interacts with global forces. The country's role in trade, manufacturing, and currency policy gives it particular weight in business and economics coursework, while its literary and cultural traditions attract attention in humanities programs.

The papers archived on this topic reflect a genuinely broad range of approaches. Economic and business analyses examine China as an emerging manufacturing superpower, explore foreign market entry strategies, and investigate specific cases such as joint ventures in the automotive industry. Cultural and cross-cultural papers compare Chinese values and practices with those of other nations, address the relationship between language and culture, and consider how cultural syncretism has shaped China over time. Historical approaches trace Chinese economic development across dynasties and eras. Literary analysis appears as well, with classical works like Du Fu's poetry examined for their social and political commentary. Policy-focused papers tackle issues such as currency strategy and the internationalization of the renminbi.

A strong essay on China benefits from a clearly bounded thesis — choosing one dimension, such as trade policy, cultural adaptation, or historical development, rather than attempting to cover the country broadly. Evidence drawn from specific industries, government decisions, or primary texts carries more weight than generalizations. The most common pitfall is treating China as a monolithic entity; acknowledging internal regional, economic, and cultural variation produces more credible and nuanced arguments.

Sun Tzu\'s Art of War Is a Part of China\'s Tradition of Scholarship and Documentation

Sun Tzu and his famous book The Art of War cannot be understood apart from the Chinese cultural and historical context that produced them, although his concepts were widely borrowed and imitated over the past 2,000 years. He was a contemporary of Confucius, after all, and his assumptions about warfare were harmonized within that philosophical tradition. Warfare was an evil, a waste and cause of disharmony and disorder, especially when it was prolonged. It was a waste of lives as well as the resources of the state, and should therefore be avoided through deterrence and clever diplomacy, and only then be used as a last resort. The most brilliant commander was the one who was able to defeat the enemy without fighting battles, although if these had to be fought then they should be won quickly and decisively.

Gasoline Consumption vs. SUV\'s Popularity

Given the recent spike in gas prices, many analysts have forecast the 'death' of the SUV. But statistical evidence does not support this conclusion. Demand for SUVs is up while demand for hybrids is down (as of 2012 figures). Demand for SUVs is particularly high in China and other areas of the developing world. This paper explores the implications of this data.

Japan, it May Be Called a Period

The Japanese were concerned about adopting attitudes brought from China during the country's early years. Prince Shotoku in particular was interested in introducing Chinese ideas into his community because he appreciated the fact that the Chinese were well organized and that their political system was structured so as for it to address the needs of both the people and their leaders. Emperor Kotoku was also concerned about adopting behaviors that would make the Japanese state more similar to the Chinese one and established the Taika reforms in an attempt to promote Confucian thinking and philosophies from China. While some of these reforms were meant to help Japan experience progress in a series of domains, they were generally purposed to restructure the political system in order for a strict hierarchy to dominate the Japanese social order.

Boeing Airbus Subsidies EU Subsidies

In a modern global economy premised on the principle of free trade and governed by the World Trade Organization, EU financial subsidies to Airbus are certainly not fair. The reason that the WTO prohibits these sorts of government subsidies to private industry is because they distort trade. They allow one competitor, Airbus, to make its goods artificially affordable to aircraft customers, undercutting competitors like Boeing and gaining an unfair advantage in the market.
