The Country of China

China the most populated country in the world.https://gurunithyans.blogspot.com
China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a country in East Asia and the world's most populous country, with a population of around 1.404 Billion  covering approximately 9,600,000 square kilometers (3,700,000 sq mi), it is the third- or fourth-largest country by total area. Governed by the Communist Party of China, the state exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces, five autonomous regions, four direct municipally controlled(Beijing,Tianjin, Shanghai and Chongquing), and the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macuau.
Chinese Economy
From its founding in 1949 until late 1978, the People's Republic of China was a Soviet-style centrally planned economies. Following Mao's death in 1976 and the consequent end of the Cultural Revolution, Deng Xiaoping and the new Chinese leadership began to reform the economy and move towards a more market-oriented mixed economy under one-party rule. 
Agricultural collectivation was dismantled and farmlands privatized, while foreign trade became a major new focus, leading to the creation of Special Economic Zones (SEZs). Inefficient state owned Enterprises (SOEs) were restructured and unprofitable ones were closed outright, resulting in massive job losses. 
Modern-day China is mainly characterized as having a market economy based on private property ownership, and is one of the leading examples of state capitalism The state still dominates in strategic "pillar" sectors such as energy production and heavy industries, but private enterprise has expanded enormously, with around 30 million private businesses recorded in 2008.
Since economic liberalization began in 1978, China has been among the world's fastest-growing economies, relying largely on investment- and export-led growth. According to the IMF, China's annual average GDP growth between 2001 and 2010 was 10.5%. Between 2007 and 2011, China's economic growth rate was equivalent to all of the G7 countries' growth combined. According to the growth generators index announced by Citigroup in February 2011, China has a very high 3G growth rating. Its high productivity, low labor costs and relatively good infrastructure have made it a global leader in manufacturing. However, the Chinese economy is highly energy-intensive and inefficient; China became the world's largest energy consumer in 2010, relies on coal to supply over 70% of its energy needs, and surpassed the US to become the world's largest oil importer in September 2013. In the early 2010s, China's economic growth rate began to slow amid domestic credit troubles, weakening international demand for Chinese exports and fragility in the global economy.


China Geography

China's landscape is vast and diverse, ranging from the Gobi and Taklamakan Desert in the arid north to subtropical forests in the wetter south. The Himalaya, Karakoram, Pamir and Town Shan mountain ranges separate China from much of South and Central Asia. The Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, the third- and sixth-longest in the world, respectively, run from the Tibetan Plateau to the densely populated eastern seaboard. China's coastline along the Pacific Ocean is 14,500 kilometers (9,000 mi) long and is bounded by the Bhai, Yellow, East China and South China seas. China connects through the Kazakh border to the Eurasian Steppe which has been an artery of communication between East and West since the Neolithic through the Steppe route – the ancestor of the terrestrial Silk road.
China is a very diverse beautiful and very cultural country. It's economy is booming and it is looking forward to the golden age.

The Journey to South Goa

  The Journey to South Goa We began this journey on the morning of 4th October 2019.  4th October 2019 (Friday) I got up at 4:30AM. I brushed my teeth and got ready. We kept the dental kit inside the bag. We wanted to start before 5AM because it takes around 11 hours to reach Goa by road from Bangalore by car if you go via the Chitradurga- Hubli highway. It was 10 minutes past 5 when the driver showed up at the our house. His name was Ramesh. He was suggested by one of my mother's friend Mr  Toms. He used to work in the hospitality industry. Then I was told to get into the front seat because my father wanted to sleep in the back seat because he had not slept enough the previous night. It was a white Toyota Etios. Then we started the car and drove towards the national highway. The road looked very quiet because it was 5 in the morning. It was drizzling in the morning and because of that it was a bit wet and cold. Then we drove quietly till 6AM. By then we had passed Peenya a

Covid-19 economic effects, China's rise, foreign policy and Indian Economy. Introduction I have been writing about my travel experiences all these days. But this one is different and my usual travel stories are not possible now due to covid-19. This post is about economics, diplomacy and covid 19. A different kind of a post. I will be discussing 4 topics in this post. They are economic effects of Covid on the world, China's rise as a global super power and its irresponsible  handling of covid, its aggressive foreign policy and then finally should India choose Capitalization over socialism.  Covid 19 Economic effects Fall in the GDP growth. This pandemic has just taught us how dependent we are on others and how dependent one country is on another country. The shutting down of industries and halting of farming activities have hit the global supply chain resulting in the deficiency of food supplies in many parts of the world. The recent US-China Trade war has resulted in the slowi

India's Foreign Policy Representative image only Introduction You would have already guessed what this blog is about. Yes, it is about India's Foreign Policy.  India is an emerging power and has the potential to become a superpower. Every country needs good allies to become a super power. India has a huge diplomatic outreach primarily due to its Diaspora. It has always taken a neutral stand during the cold war. India was heading the non aligned movement. Even though India was neutral, it was more dependent on the Soviet Union than the United States. Some of India's economic practices during the cold war era also resembled the policies of Soviet Government. India was very dependent on Soviet Union during the cold war era even though it was neutral.   India's Diplomatic Missions  India's diplomatic and foreign policy is handled by (MEA) Ministry of External Affairs.  Diplomatic missions of India India has diplomatic relations with almost all countries in the world.
