Blogging through Media Trends and Globalization (2023)

China and globalization  Globalization is closely related to China. China is in an important position among countries in the world. Globalization is characterized by reducing the physical spacing between countries and creating various new cultures through exchanges between countries. China has a deep relationship with globalization due to this characteristic of globalization. Due to the large land and large population, various cultures exist within the country, and a large number of populations go abroad and exchange various exchanges. It has the effect of spreading many cultures around the world. Does globalization help China?  Globalization helps China. As I said earlier, China is in an important position in the global economy. China has the advantage of having a large land and a large population. Therefore, it has a strong competitive edge in manufacturing and import and export. Many of these characteristics and globalization are benefiting greatly. Through globalization, c...

The reading noted that political globalization has introduced new tensions in politics. Key conflicts now revolve around issues such as the right to difference, individual versus community, and liberal democracy versus cosmopolitanism. The expanded set of concerns includes governance, identity, mobilities, and community, shaping a complex landscape of political conflict in the era of globalization. So it also explains what and how the connection between politics and globalization. And these are the main points that highlight the relationship between globalization and politics that I could find. The first one is the Shifts in Governance Structures , and it proposes a change from a society centered on the state to one centered on polycentric networks of governance. This suggests that in the face of globalization, conventional, state-centric approaches to politics are changing. The impact of globalization on nation-states is discussed next. It has affected how these states define politic...

 Is globalization good for China? And is China good for globalization? For China, globalization has played an important role in economic growth. China has taken an important position in global trade by expanding its market through globalization and attracting foreign investment. In the past, there was a perception that Chinese products were low-priced and of poor quality, but today China has the technology to make products that meet international standards and is targeting the global market with its own quality brand. According to the "2021 Global BrandZ" survey conducted by global market research company Kantar, 17 of the top 100 global brands are also Chinese brands. In this process, industrialization developed, jobs increased, and the standard of life of many Chinese citizens increased. Meanwhile, China has also contributed significantly to globalization. The huge market size, labor force, manufacturing capacity, and foreign investment contributed to increasing the connect...

 Globalization is a phenomenon that has far-reaching implications for China, which has various consequences for its economy, society, and politics. First, one of the main benefits that globalization provides to China is economic growth. With international trade and foreign investment, China has grown rapidly and emerged as a major economy in the global economy. In particular, the development of the export industry has significantly increased China's GDP, which has had a positive impact on domestic productivity and job creation. These economic growths have helped improve the lives of the poor in China. As many people look for employment opportunities and their incomes increase, China has emerged as one of the main beneficiaries of the global economy. But this economic prosperity has created an imbalance, widening the income gap between urban and rural areas and between high and low income groups. In addition, globalization has provided China with opportunities for modernization and ...

Is globalization good for China?   Globalization has had a positive effect on China. It has allowed China to further integrate into the world, breaking down technical and academic barriers in various countries, facilitating exchanges in various areas, and contributing to economic growth. At the same time, thanks to the development of global supply chains, China is able to provide a large number of jobs in production and manufacturing. Globalization allows more people to learn about China, Chinese people to go out into the world, and foreigners to come to China and achieve cultural commonality. China had the opportunity to share and learn from the cultures of other countries, deepening international understanding and cooperation. And is China good for globalization? China is a major economic power, so the growth of its economy can also reflect the growth of the world's economy. Globalization has facilitated the spread of technology, and China has been able to share its cash technolo...

  The WTO plays three roles for South Korea. First, They lead negotiations among member states and promote free trade. Promote smooth trade activities by reducing trade barriers. Secondly, They mediates disputes between Member States. Mitigate conflict by making fair judgments and resolving disputes. Thirdly, They develop trade rules with Member States. It serves to promote fair competition and increase trust among member states.   And for the second question, It is important to join the WTO membership because it can help economic growth by expanding trade volume and diversifying trading partners.

    "Is globalization good for China? And is China good for globalization?" Globalization is  good for China . As an important participant in globalization, China is one of its main beneficiaries. Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has grown at an average annual rate of 9.5%, and its global economic share has increased from 1.8% in 1978 to 17% in 2020. In just a few decades, China has rapidly risen to become the world's largest trader of goods, the largest industrial country, and the world's second-largest economy. In 2020, China surpassed the United States and became the world's largest inflow of foreign investment. It was also the only major economy to achieve positive economic growth that year. Likewise, China has also had a positive impact on globalization. The white paper "Development and Progress of China's Human Rights Cause in the 40 Years of Reform and Opening Up" reveals that in terms of the scale of poverty reduction, Chi...

  "Is globalization good for China? And is China good for globalization?" The viewpoints differ because the evaluation of globalization is divided into many different ways. But I think my opinion is negative. Since China's globalization, environmental problems have become more serious. Economically, even if it has achieved great growth by entering the international market and increasing exports, it is facing air and water pollution. Because of this, neighboring countries are suffering a lot and are being criticized a lot.  China's Ministry of Environmental Protection reported that one-third of China's groundwater surface water is not suitable for human contact. Toxins and waste said that half of China's precipitation was contaminated with toxins and waste, and the number of deaths from air pollution was estimated to be more than 1 million per year.  Therefore, I don't think that China and globalization are in a good relationship under the current situation...

    1) Summary This article is about political globalization, which refers to the multidimensional, accelerated, and interconnected organization of space and time across national borders. The chapter discusses the impact of globalization on the autonomy of nation-states, the advantages and disadvantages of globalization, and the multifaceted nature of globalization. The tension between three processes that interact to produce the complex field of global politics is highlighted: global geopolitics, global normative culture, and polycentric networks. The transformation of the nation-state under the conditions of largely economic globalization is also discussed, with some arguing that states have been usurped by global markets. The concept of multi-governance is introduced, which suggests that the nation-state must share sovereignty with non-governmental actors. The chapter concludes by evaluating the impact of globalization on the autonomy of nation-states and the formation of...

    1) Summary "Cultural Globalization" is a paper that focuses on the relationship between globalization and culture, emphasizing the phenomenon of culture flowing and interacting across national borders. This is primarily linked to the global spread of culture through the media, challenging traditional identities while advocating for the respect of diversity. Globalization encompasses both positive and negative aspects, and the flow of culture is understood as a complex and diverse interaction rather than a simple process of homogenization.  2) interesting point "Cultural Globalization" touches upon intriguing points such as the role of media, the conflict between regional identity and global diversity, the dual nature and complexity of globalization, the emphasis on cultural crossroads and interaction, and the dynamic nature of cultural flows in globalization. The significance of media in global information dissemination, the nuanced interaction between regi...

Summary This article provides a comprehensive analysis of globalization. The authors, Roland Robertson and Kathleen E. White aim to define globalization and its various components, including its cultural, social, political, and economic dimensions. They also discuss the impact of globalization on different areas of human life, such as global governance, human rights, and the environment. The authors argue that globalization is a complex and multifaceted process that requires a sophisticated framework for critical analysis. They also address the issue of cultural relativism and the need for a balanced approach to understanding globalization. Overall, the context of this article is to provide a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of globalization and its impact on different aspects of human life. Interesting Points 1. The authors argue that the nation-state should be regarded as an aspect of globalization, rather than a challenge to it. They contend that globalization would not exist...

 I think the WTO is only helping wealthy countries, that is, vested interests led by Western developed countries. The WTO was indeed a tremendous international organization at the beginning, but as time passed, no matter how great its ideals were, they eventually began to decay. The WTO began to force some poor countries to open their markets, allowing developed countries to dump goods wantonly and squeeze the local industries of these poor countries. At the same time, developed countries use trade rules to purchase high-quality assets in these countries, turning poor countries into providers of resources and dumping grounds for excess goods. Facing the powerful alliance of developed countries behind the WTO, weak countries cannot compete and can only be at its mercy. Based on the above. The meaning of the existence of the WTO has changed. Objective neutrality has turned into profit-seeking. The credibility of the Shimao Organization has been severely hit. The future WTO can retrie...

 "Is globalization good for China?  And is China good for globalization?" I think that globalization has not only had a good effect on China but that China has a positive effect on globalization. China has strengthened its industry through globalization. It made good use of cheap labor and a wide market.  Many countries worldwide operate factories in China or utilize China's labor force. Also, because of China's large population, there are many cases of exporting to China. According to the "2021 Global BrandZ" survey conducted by global market research firm Kantar, 17 out of the top 100 global brands are Chinese brands. Tencent and Alibaba rounded out the top 10. In particular, various Chinese brands are spreading in countries such as Korea and the United States.  As can be seen from the article 'https://www.economist.com/china/2016/12/10/china-has-gained-hugely-from-globalization' ', globalization has stabilized China's market and allowed wo...

 Globalization is good for China. China is the world's largest export country, exporting various industrial products. However, China is not rich in natural resources. Among energy resources, coal, natural gas and oil require large amounts of imports, as do copper, iron ore and lithium ores, among mineral resources. Globalization has refined the division of labour among countries in the world: first-world countries, second-world countries, and third-world countries. China can continuously obtain raw materials from third-world countries, process them into industrial products and export them to the world. This is the benefit that globalization brings to China. At the same time, globalization will also allow China's political influence to radiate around the world through trade and investment. For example, China’s One Belt, One Road policy has emitted from East Asia to the Middle East. China is good for globalization. China is an essential promoter of globalization. Goods made in Ch...

  1) Summary This article explores the multifaceted nature of globalization, defining it as the result of increased interdependence and integration across various realms such as economics, culture, and technology. The authors highlight how globalization transcends national boundaries, fostering interactions and connectivity worldwide. They emphasize that globalization presents both challenges and opportunities, continuously evolving and reshaping our interconnected world."  2) Interesting point "In 'What Is Globalization?' by Roland Robertson and Kathleen E. White, there are several intriguing points. Firstly, when defining globalization, the authors interpret it as the result of increased interdependence and integration across various domains such as economics, culture, and technology. This is explained as a phenomenon where interactions between nations intensify, leading to a connected globalized world. Moreover, the paper emphasizes that globalization trans...

1. Summarize  In this Reading, Gerard Delanty and Chris Rumford explore the multidimensional and interconnected organization of space and time across national borders, with a focus on postnational and transnational processes. The authors argue that globalization is not a new phenomenon, but rather a continuation of historical processes of social transformation. They identify three dynamics of political globalization: the transformation of nationality and citizenship, the public sphere and political communication, and space and borders. The first dynamic, the transformation of nationality and citizenship, challenges the traditional concept of the nation-state as a sovereign actor. The authors argue that the decline of the nation-state in a post-statist world of governance without government should be replaced by the idea of the continued transformation of the nation-state. States continue to be powerful actors but exist in a more globally connected world that they do not fully contr...

First, the others are not 'neighbors'. I mean, the environment in which KR,CH,JP,IN,etc. have civilized and grown is very different from that in ASEAN. The impact of the environment on humans is enormous. The clothes are different, the food is different, and the buildings are different. These differences have made a significant cultural difference from other Asian countries, and it will be difficult to sufficiently form the consensus of the people needed to form a direct alliance. In addition, the idea is that other Asian countries will not want solidarity beyond just economic cooperation for similar reasons.  And one of ASEAN's objectives will be to check other Asian giants. Their regions, such as the South China Sea and the Singapore Strait, are the important trade routes from India, Europe to East Asia. It controls the region and will be aimed at preserving its own interests by preventing other countries (China or India) from expanding their power. Therefore, I think the...

The establishment of ASEAN itself is to integrate the political output of Southeast Asian countries against China and the United States. Japan and South Korea are deeply influenced by the politics of the United States and are also targets of ASEAN's confrontation. Moreover, China, Japan and South Korea belong to the East Asian cultural circle and are influenced by Chinese civilization, which is different from the Southeast Asian cultural circle to which ASEAN member states belong. ASEAN cannot become a true Asian alliance. Judging from the current international situation, if China does not join ASEAN, then ASEAN will not be able to represent Asian countries. Similarly, Japan and South Korea are controlled by the United States and will not easily join ASEAN. Excluding Russia, China, Japan and South Korea are the most powerful countries in Asia. Whether it is political power, economic strength or military power, China, Japan and South Korea are difficult for ASEAN to compete with. AS...

 An "Asian Union" will be difficult to make. The reasons why I thought about this are as follows. 1. Interregional distance Asia is big. It's very big. This distance has varied Asia from the birth of civilization era in the past to the present, but at the same time, it has also made it difficult to feel a sense of homogeneity as a citizen of the same continent. Therefore, there is a possibility that a smaller alliance between East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia will be created rather than the Asian Federation as a whole, but it will be difficult to create an Asian Federation as a whole. 2. Cultural acceptance Unlike the case of Europe, Asian countries are known to have very low acceptance of other cultures. Even in the case of Korea, it is very exclusive to migrants from other Asian countries. I think this is a tradition that has been maintained for hundreds or thousands of years in various cultures (especially in East Asia). Therefore, it will be difficult to expec...

Globalization presents both challenges and opportunities to China. On the one hand, the process of globalization is advancing rapidly. The ratio of total global merchandise exports to GDP increased rapidly from 14.5% in 1991 to 25.5% in 2008, and the total annual inflow of global foreign direct investment increased rapidly from US$150 billion in 1991 to US$1.9 trillion in 2007. . On the other hand, anti-globalization harms others but does not benefit oneself. Policies that seemed to “give priority to national interests” actually led to longer-term depression and disaster around the world and even itself. The systems and institutions that maintain and promote economic globalization such as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank after World War II were established based on the above-mentioned living lessons. The process of globalization is an unstoppable historical trend. The international will to actively promote globalization is s...

When it comes to Europe, the first thing that strikes me is its rich culture and art. The Renaissance was a highly influential period in European history, spanning roughly the late 14th century to the early 17th century, which was not only a renaissance in culture and art but also a revolution in human thinking. The people of the Renaissance began to reexamine their relationship to the world and humanity's place in the universe, and this reexamination brought with it the concept of anthropocentrism, the belief that humans are the center of the universe, the center of the cosmos, and the center of all things. The capacity and potential of anthropocentrism were fully demonstrated during the Renaissance when anthropocentrism pushed people to think deeply about their self-perception. In the feudal society of the Middle Ages, the existence of the individual was often suppressed and ignored, while people in the Renaissance began to emphasize the uniqueness and dignity of the individual. ...

Summary   Global culture exists between states, global civil society, and political movements. And global civil society has an impact on global politics. Political globalization gives rise to complex forms of conflict, dislocation and fluid politics. Scholars argue that these dimensions of globalization form the global polity. This article challenges that political globalization does not lead to a new global governance order or world society, but rather to transnational political action that challenges neoliberal politics.   In addition, the paper discusses the transformation of states and changes in nationality and citizenship in the context of globalization. The article rejects the idea of the decline of the state under the global market or global governance structures, and instead emphasizes the continuous transformation of the state. States remain powerful actors, but exist in a more globalized world and are not fully in control. In the case of Europe, European integration...

   The title 'Living in a la carte world' is similar to how Chinese people view European oil paintings, which is somewhat abstract. Whether it is "European and American leaders tend to view the world through competing ideologies and political systems, or in such systems, whether you support or oppose the West," or the results of public opinion surveys, both reflect a focus on how to develop pragmatically. For example, the values of life in China and Russia that Westerners view; The issue of political alliance among Westerners; War and peace issues; The issue of Western living standards and values; The question of whether a free society can survive; The competition between the leaders of Europe and the United States over their respective ideologies and political systems; They talked about winning the "global south" of the West and supporting a rule-based order to confront their challengers; In terms of human rights and so on. The focus of all these issues can...

 I have been paying attention to the war between Ukraine and Russia for a long time. Because this is the largest international war that has occurred in recent years. Many people from both countries have died on the battlefield. In fact, in China, more people will support Russia's victory. But in the United States, there will be more support for a win in Ukraine. At the beginning of the war, people thought that Ukraine had a certain possibility of victory. Still, this possibility constantly dissipated as the war continued, especially since the EU countries could no longer see any hope. They were eager to end the war. Because no European wants to see this war expand. The leaders of EU countries know this. War between Russia and Ukraine is not a good option. In other words, NATO's attempt to accommodate Ukraine was wrong. However, due to the EU's military dependence on the United States, they have to cooperate with the United States in providing large amounts of military and e...

Summary It discusses the concept of political globalization and its impact on the autonomy of nation-states. The authors argue that the nation-state has become dislocated from the state due to the conditions of globalization. The political community of the nation does not exercise sovereignty over the state and the state has lost much of its sovereignty. The rise of subnational politics, such as global cities, is also discussed as a product of the de-nationalization of the nation-state and the rise of non-territorial politics. The transformation of the public sphere and communication is another key point discussed in this file. Nation-states have been based on centralized systems of communication, but with the rise of globalization, communication has become more decentralized and transnational, challenging the traditional structures of the nation-state. The authors argue that communication is central to politics and that the challenges arising from the decentralization and transnationa...

What is the relation between politics and globalization?  1) Summary The article explains into political globalization's multifaceted dimensions, focusing on global geopolitics, normative culture, and polycentric networks. It challenges the idea of a unified global order, emphasizing transnational actions that challenge neoliberal politics. Four key transformations are explored. Changes in nationality and citizenship, shifts in the public sphere and political communication, the rise of global civil society, and alterations in spatial dynamics due to globalization.                     At its core lies an analysis of global power geopolitics, highlighting the absence of a singular dominant force on the global stage. Even established powers like the US face challenges within this complex global milieu, debunking the notion of a unipolar world. Another dimension studies into the emergence of a global normative culture. This cultura...
