It was brought into place to evolve China from being based in the farming sector, to the industry sector. Although this strategy was not passed, China did consider the advantages and benefits of this idea and integrated them into their economic system which is still in place today. This was called the Open-Door
The Great Leap Forward of 1958–59 initially produced sharp gains in industry and agriculture, but the zeal for increased quotas quickly resulted in undue strain on resources and quality. The Great Leap was followed by "three bitter years" of economic crisis brought on by bad harvests and the economic dislocation of the previous period. By 1961, the GNP had fallen to an estimated $81 billion, roughly the level reached in 1955. By 1965, however, a readjustment of expectations, coupled with a careful program of industrial investment, helped the economy to recover. China 's trade patterns, meanwhile, had shifted radically away from the USSR and toward Japan and Western
This decrease in poverty rates has been a positive impact on globalization since 1950 and continues to decrease today. Along with a decrease in poverty rates, there has been an increase in daily income per capita globally. Document 3 contains 3 graphs, each increasing in daily income per capita, especially the significant increase between 1945 and 2015 as it passes the international poverty line. This again is a positive impact on globalization as it means the global economy is getting better.
For any country that wants to survive in the toughest of times, they need to have good trading capabilities. Very few countries are able to sustain themselves without indulging in intensive trade with other countries. Trading has been considered a good thing in the past, but with the changing world, there are doubts about the benefits of trading. There are some factors that lead to the development of trade networks between countries. When people started to settle in larger towns, the idea that you had to produce absolutely everything for survival, began to fade.
The Fall of Han China The fall of Han China began with a decline in an interest of achieving Confucian intellectual goals, students were becoming restless. With this new restless tone, the empire started to let go of their morals, leading to a decline in work ethic, this ultimately meant that trade and agriculture were no longer thriving. Without trade and harvests the empire was no longer self-sufficient. Han China was a Confucian state.
(Mao winning civil war? Command economy, totalitarian society, and Mao cult, How Maoist China actually closed itself off from the world) Economically Mao instituted a program named The Great Leap forward
The Great Leap Forward took place during 1958 and 1960 (C). Mao introduced the Great Leap Forward as a means to catch up to the West’s development through agricultural and industrial development. The key factors of this movement were Propaganda, the introduction of communes and hard labour. While this was claimed to be in the interests of the Chinese population, the manner in which Mao lead this campaign, in addition to its devastating consequences, cannot prove these claims true (A). Mao’s goals for China were impossible to achieve as he believed the country could make a century’s worth of achievements in as little as a few decades (B).
The Chinese civilization from 100 C.E. to 600 C.E. rose as one of the major unified empires. While this society grew, there were aspects of culture and politics stayed the same but many changes also occurred. As the empire developed, family units and social classes remained stagnant. Despite these continuities, changes such as the popularity of Buddhism within society due to Indian missionaries and a shift in political rule occurred. During the time period 100 C.E. to 600 C.E. the family unit system remained intact despite the intellectual advances.

The process of globalization, and its impact on economic growth have become the defining influence on the development of modern China. China 's integration into the global economic system has been a multifaceted and complex process, and one that China appears exceptionally eager to embrace. Encompassing domestic policy shifts, engagement with both global and regional institutions, as well as bilateral agreements with various countries, globalization has been an impressively orchestrated process initiated by the very top of the CCP. While advocates of globalization tout the growth of China as proof of its merits, analyzing the actual effects on the ground reveals a much more nuanced reality. Globalization has undoubtedly brought China more wealth and power, but it has also generated a host of other effects, both positive and negative.

This paper will explore both the advantages and disadvantages that globalization has on the world. Globalization is good for economy. First, Enterprises can operate internationally, and production can be produced internationally. Similar to poor countries like Africa, although they are poor, they have a lot of cheap labor, other countries will make their goods

They move to other countries to find a better chance to work.
