China and Japan react as they did to the Europeans' desire to trade with them in order to show that they are self-sufficient. <span>The rise of the West from the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries involved distant explorations and conquests resulting in a heightening and redefining of relationships among world societies. </span>
Globalization in essence is companies and governments climbing onto the world stage and interacting internationally.
Globalization has helped some, but it has also hurt a lot, specifically through:
- Making the rich richer
- Removing trade barriers only for new ones to rise (VAT taxes, etc.)
- Increased trade deficits with many jobs leaving their developed nations for less developed ones (U.S. manufacturing to China, etc.)
- Developed country job pay cuts
- MNC's leaving countries and exploiting international tax havens
- MNC's overseeing bad work conditions in countries with less regulations
- MNC's influencing international politics
- Exploitation of labor
- Social welfare schemes
Et cetera, et cetera...
All the problems we hear about with companies leaving their countries and stranding thousands if not millions of people without jobs, and labor issues in other countries all stem from globalization. So we need to decide if the benefits outweigh the costs here or not...
