Nationalist China, which claimed all of China had a sizeable minority of Communists, and when the Nationalists banned Communism, the Communists rebelled and created their own state. When Japan invaded China in 1937, the Warlords combined to fight Japan and after Japan's defeat in 1945 the warfare resumed.  Due to the war with Japan though, the Nationalists were very weak. When the Communists resumed the fighting, the Nationalists couldn't keep up and had to evacuate to the island of Taiwan, where they still keep their Democratic system. Mainland China fell to the Communists, and both claim each others lands citing themselves as the "true" China.

What would happen in the global marketplace if all people had a living wage?
joja [24]

Answer:

If the entire world population had a living wage, the effects that this would have on the global marketplace would be positive, since it would increase the consumption of goods and services since all the inhabitants of the world would have the possibility of accessing them. Thus, production by companies would increase, which would generate higher profits for these and higher tax collection for governments, thus increasing salaries and social security expenses, ultimately improving the quality of life of the population.
