Globalization and China

Chinese leaders generally define globalization as ""economic"" globalization. They put ""economic"" at the top. Such a stance shows that they regard globalization as an incident in the field of economy. Chinese leaders usually mention that economic globalization is a necessary consequence of the development of social productivity and scientific technology, therefore it is regarded as a general trend. However, they do not explain why it is thought of as a necessity. They just say it is enough for China to think of how they should cope with ""gaiatsu"" which ""necessarily"" rolls upon them in the shape of globalization. China is trying to carry out the structural reform of the economy by taking advantage of ""gaiatsu"", that is, economic globalization. On the other hand, they do not make light of the disadvantages of economic globalization. Developments of modern scientific technology and economic globalization do not always benefit people of all the nations in general. The poor become poorer, and the rich become richer. They point out that the growing imbalance in the world is becoming more serious. Then, how should they face the situation? They propose that China should respect the voice of developing countries who are facing economic globalization and that they should lead economic globalization toward the establishment of the new world order for fair and rational international politics and economies. China is also raising her attention to the fact that the Western nations are apt to push their own values and political systems by taking advantages of economic globalization. China insists that no nations have the right to intrude their own social systems and ideology on other nations. As is mentioned above, globalization for Chinese leaders is understood as ""economic globalization"" which is premised on a nation-state system, then it may be pushed through as far as it does not destroy the system. The development of globalization should never break the framework of a nation state in the field of politics and culture
