Chinese
People & Politics:
|
China, with more than
1.2 billion people, is the most populous country in the world. Overall population
density of the country is somewhat over 110 people per square kilo-meter. 90 percent of the Chinese population live
on less than 40 percent of the land. |
|
The map is showing the
distribution and density of China's population. One tiny dot indicates 50,000
people. |
|
Immediately after the 1949
revolution the Chinese government encouraged its people to have large
families in order to increase the work force depleted by years of war. An
extensive birth control program has been in effect since the late 1970s.
Nowadays, city-dwellers are required to adhere to the one-child policy, and
even in the countryside families rarely have more than two or three children. |
|
#MULTI-ETHNIC NATION: |
|
China, like all other large
states, is multi-ethnic. The Han people, however, form the large majority,
with about 94 percent of the population. While former Chinese governments
traditionally acknowledged the Han, Manchu, Mongol, Turkish, and Tibetan
ethnic groups, the current Chinese government officially recognizes 56 ethnic
groups, including the Han. The Han majority speak Chinese, but most of the
minorities speak other languages, falling into 15 main language
families. |
|
Below is a map showing the
distribution of China's population in terms of the major language families.
Note that what is generally termed Chinese is here divided into Mandarin and
Southern. |
|
Which region has the greatest variety of
minorities? |
|
Han Chinese are also marked
by further linguistic diversity, in that the spoken forms of their different
dialects vary as widely as the languages of Europe. All of the Han
nonetheless use a common written form of Chinese and share common social
organization, values, and cultural characteristics that are recognized as
Chinese. |
|
Over the
centuries many ethnic groups have been absorbed into the Han majority,
especially in the south and west. Sichuan has always had many ethnic
groups, but today the large majority are Han Chinese. |
|
Mongols are one of the
largest minorities in China, concentrated especially in the Inner Mongolian
Autonomous Region. Many Mongols outside the
cities still live in large round tents called yurts. Politics: The politics of the Republic of China take place in a
framework of a representative democratic republic, whereby the President is head of state and the Premier (President of the Executive Yuan) is head of government, and of a multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in primarily with the parliament and
limited by government. The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature.
The party system is dominated by the Kuomintang (KMT, "Chinese
Nationalist Party"), which favours closer links to mainland China, and the Democratic Progressive Party, which favours Taiwanese independence. It is known as republic of china but
exactly it is controlled by some higher person, authorities who controls army
and also take major steps in the issues of country. “We are boycotting Chinese Business but not People.” Border Clash: 1. India is
angry after bloody clash on June 15 between Indian and Chinese troops at
Galwan. Across the country, there are calls to boycott Chinese products and
halt bilateral trades. Union minister even wants to ban selling Chinese food. 2. Twenty Indian
soldiers were killed in fighting at a disputed border site in the Himalayan
Galwan Valley, prompting a swift and theatrical backlash on India’s streets. 3. People in the
western Indian city of Ahmedabad hurled Chinese TV sets down their balconies,
while traders in the capital, Delhi, protested by burning Chinese goods. 4. A central
minister called for a boycott of restaurants selling “Chinese food” - an Indianized
version of Chinese cuisine that is hugely popular. China has border
issues with many countries. People says that due most populated country
china, is unable to look after its public and fails to fulfil their demand.
Hence, China attack repeatedly attack on its adjacent countries. China wants
to spread its geographical area larger and larger forcefully. 59 Apps: The
Government of India has banned 59 Chinese mobile applications, including top
social media platforms such as Tik-Tok, WeChat and Helo, to counter the
threat posed by these applications to the country’s “sovereignty and
security”. Here's the complete list of
the apps banned:
 China
is India’s biggest trade partner. Most of the market share in India is taken
by Chinese people. But India is one of China’s smaller partners (2.1% of
Chinese trade). In 2018, India imports 15.3% goods in other hand exports
5.1%. Boycott
could hit India’s trade in a big way. According to reports, the government has
also asked e-commerce companies to display the country of origin for the
products they sell. Few
importance points: 1. India imports a range of
products from China, be it raw materials such as steel, minerals etc. or finished
products. It would not be economically beneficial to India if it tries to
stop the import of finished goods. In this case of raw materials, imports can’t
be stopped. 2. It may choose to switch
the source of imports from China to another country. However, this is also
not viable as if China is selling at a competitive price, there would be
another country willing to buy these products. India will harm its economy by
refusing to purchase cheaper commodities. 3. India's trade deficit
with China was $53 billion in 2018-19, which is shrunk by $10 billion.
However, this figure was all dressed up as most imports were routed through
Hong Kong to make the trade surplus seem smaller. 4. China's imports from
India are around $2.5 billion, which it can afford to buy from alternate
sources, and yet it's GDP will not be impacted as much. However, since India
imports large quantities from China, it would be a difficult task to find a
substitute source that can match the cost and availability of Chinese
products. The outcome of this will only impact the Indian GDP. 5. Several Chinese
companies have set up their Indian operations recently under the "Make
In India" campaign. A boycott of Chinese goods would result in these
companies also facing pressure from China to stop production in India,
leading to a considerable loss of employment in these companies. 6. In the last year, there
has been a spurt of Chinese investment in the Indian Start-ups scenario.
China has invested in close to 90 Indian companies in a variety of sectors
like e-commerce, financial technology, media, social media, aggregation
services, and logistics. Ladakh-based innovator and entrepreneur Sonam Wangchuk has
initiated an attempt to boycott china via social media platform. Appeals to boycott Made in China. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJABmixhJU0 You can Fight with China using Wallets rather than Bullets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnVsWt2PC4w Yes, it is a positive step for all Indians to boycott China;
but the question strike in the back-end of our mind is - Can India replace
China as world's factory? Is India’s present infrastructure will beat the
requirement of Chinese product. Will it satisfy the public demand with a
cheap cost? The answer is no. But if Indians are work collectively with
strong determination result will be in front of us within few years. Another news is that BCCI lost its Title sponsor Vivo which is
a Chinese company. It’s surprising; India’s most popular tournament promotes
a Chinese company!! BCCI will have huge losses this year, but public is happy
that their favourite IPL will no longer be Chinese promoter. Thus, instead of silly colour
coding of products into Indian and foreign categories, we must focus on
creating quality Indian brands and products. For, when you have quality products
at the right price, people automatically vote with their wallets. On the
other hand, if you have substandard Indian products, people won’t go for them
no matter how patriotic they are. “To find yourself, think for
yourself.” -------- Socrates In
order to bounce back on China, we have to discover good Indian talents and
most important thing is to block the brain drains(more on brain drain-> rb.gy/yct36w ). Indian skilled and talented doctor,
businessman, engineer prefer to stay in foreign countries after competition
of their higher studies. This is the reason why India is still a
developing country. It is a good and well-deserved decision taken by Indian
country. We shouldn’t enjoy at the cost of life of our frontier soldiers. Soldiers
are there for our safety. We should respect them. Boycotting
Chinese products without genuine Indian alternatives simply won’t work. We
need to be smart here and boost our own manufacturing capacities, especially
in strategic sectors. Let us prioritise economic planning and execution
instead of giving into our emotions. Government should make a strong effort
to discover our home-made products and handicrafts. This is a long
game. Thank You. |
