It usually depends on the program, not the country. That said, the price of living is highest in Japan, and that's how they come up with your salary. I had a friend who made loads there in just a couple years.
2 :
My experience is that you are provided a place to live and a low salary. This was in China.
3 :
europe...cuz the euro has more monetary value than the american currency.. try spain...
4 :
New Zealand or Australia [ both have a pretty good standard of living ], and there is a strong demand for E.S.L. teachers due to a large influx of Asian immigrants over the last 10-12 years, particularly New Zealand.
5 :
Out of the four Asian countries, Korea is by far the one you can make the most and save the most. The cost of living in Japan and Taiwan has gotten too high and the salary in China is too low.

can america just take back all their business that they have shipped over to china?
can america just take back all their business that they have shipped over to china?
I'm not Einstein but wouldn't that be the only solution to the crisis? If we are not making any product then how can we make money? I think that the only solution would be to get our stuff out of china and start to make the stuff here. What do you think? I haven't heard that idea before but wouldn't it work?

There are many complications. But one to highlight is that China owns a lot of US stock and debt instruments. If we take back all our business, they retaliate and cash in on our debt to them with interest. That's the start of an economic war, with implications in other areas of diplomacy.
2 :
Yes, all the businesses could be shipped back. No one knows what else to do..
3 :
America have many big companies. They need to cut down the cost of their stuff. Then sell it in low price. If they shipped back their production. They have to pay the high cost of labor. Then, Eruopean and Japan's companies would use this to compete against those such as IBM, MS, GE..... Then, American companies would become weaker and weaker. They will lost their control of world' market.
4 :
In theory it can be done. But there are too fundamental difficulties. First, it's very difficult to recover capital investments if a business has already had manufacturing facilities setup in China. 2. There are still significant differences in labor costs between China and America. It is very difficult for some businesses to digest such difference.

This is kind of odd, but I've heard someone do it. This girl went around her neighborhood and gave every house a recycling bag to put paper, plastic water bottles, soda cans, etc. And about every week, she would collect all those bags and take them to a recycling center, which pays you for recyclable products. Not only does it make good money, it's environmentally friendly. (Oh yeah by the way, that girl made hundreds of dollars) Good luck :)

Why will China become the next superpower?
Why will China become the next superpower?
What is China doing that is different than what others are doing? Japan and Germany are both more wealthier than China, why aren't they superpowers? On the other hand, what can stop china from becoming a superpower? How likely is it to happen? When? Also, although China is making more money, are the people's lives nice? Do most of them have more than basic necessities? Or are many living in poverty because there's just not enough wealth to go around?

China's GDP is growing at 8-10% a year, and their military is growing at the same rate. Poverty is all across rural China, but the cities have been growing at tremendous rates.

itle: The Next Superpower: Strategic Implication of China's Economic Development Author: Carl S. Murphy, Lieutenant Commander, United States Navy Thesis: The central argument of this paper is that U.S. policy can play a pivotal role in China's stability and in the leadership's inclination remain cooperatively engaged in world affairs, or withdraw behind a bulwark of absolute sovereignty and frustrated nationalism. This is so, because China's dependence on the global economy provides the United States, as the sole remaining superpower, with considerable economic leverage to supplement its diplomatic and military influence in shaping policy to accommodate or frustrate China's emergence as a 21st century global power. A pragmatic U.S. engagement policy which recognizes that the passage of time promises a favorable evolution if China remains interdependent within the global economy. Discussion: The revival of China's economy and its continued growth makes the emergence of the PRC as a superpower in the 21st century a credible prediction. However, the need to sustain economic growth has become central to the stability of China and forced pragmatic choices on the Chinese leadership. There is an intrinsic contradiction between China's dependence on foreign market access, investment and technology to grow its economy, and the Chinese inclination toward state centered power-politics linked to insistence that China has been denied the respect due a rising power. Sustained growth of the Chinese economy at the present rate is conditioned by a stable international environment for trade, continued inflows of foreign investment, access to foreign markets and the availability of foreign technology--all of which are heavily influenced by policy decisions made in Washington. While China's economic development portends tremendous growth and future power, there is also a fragility in the economy and the fabric of China. The erosion in credibility of world communism has deprived China's leadership of an ideological basis for its continued rule. In response, the leadership has embarked on a dual strategy to legitimize continued communist control: 1) Performance-based legitimacy through sustainment of economic growth and 2) Appeals to nationalism and the Chinese perception of their historical importance, to provide a unifying vision for the populous and inoculate against opposing ideologies. While military improvement has been modest, China's economic strength is growing rapidly. Beijing's nationalistic appeals to the restoration of a perceived historical greatness, combined with popular resentment over imperialist humiliation in the last century, point toward China's development as an increasingly powerful nation--even a future superpower. U.S. force reductions independent of, or in conjunction with, withdrawal from the Asian-Pacific region has the potential to make China a military peer early in the next century. Economic modernization supports increased world influence and military power, but forces China' to sublimate military assertiveness to maintain a stable environment for commerce. While efforts to sustain growth have forced subordination of China's zero-sum approach to sovereignty in favor of pragmatic diplomacy, there is an intrinsic dissonance in China's behavior. Nationalistic maneuvering, as evidenced by irredentist territorial claims and anti-imperialist rhetoric, can be seen to arise from a renewed sense of Chinese pride and importance as a result of increasing economic clout. Exercise of China's growing power, however, is in conflict with the international behavior required to assure foreign investors of China's domestic stability and aversion to foreign adventures.

I lived in China for about nine years. So, based on that, I think people's lives are pretty good. It's not like we were treated badly or anything. I didn't even know what government we had until I came to America (of course, then I was pretty young). And we had all we needed.
11 :
Yes. To understand China you have to examine the core social differeneces between a capitalist and a communist structure... not economically but socially. The difference is and why China will surpass the USA in superpower status is that our capitalist society is taught from birth that wealth and success evolve around 'self'. A communist society teaches their citizens from birth that success evolves around 'community'. So what you end with is a society of self-centered aholes versus a society of citizens willing to give their lives for their country. Btw, this is why you see many Chinese leaders looked upon as a 'father' and loved as such.... this stems out of the sense of family or community I was referring to. In addition, the community takes care of its citizens. Capitalist are always trying to make the argument that capitalism is more productive and successful. It isn't as China is about to show us. In the end, all capitalism does it produce an elite group of very extremely greedy ppl that control most of the wealth and a society of resentful ppl of that wealth. China is illustrating to the world that communism works.
