Political Implications of Private Business

The evolving political implications of Chinese – American business relations are of paramount importance in the world today. As the business relationship between China and America deepens, China will trend towards democracy, and the U.S., in order to maintain its economy, will be forced to avoid political conflict with China. First of all, Chinese politics and Chinese business are linked in countless ways, so Chinese politics have various effects on the business relationship between China and the U.S. Furthermore, as the business relationship develops, the U.S. government will have to respond to economic dependency on a country whose political values are different than its own. The changing perspectives of American businessmen and politicians on Chinese businessmen and politicians are also an imperative piece of this growing trade. Additionally, trade between the U.S. and China implicates the political status of regions such as Taiwan, Macau, and Hong Kong.
