The label, Made in China, is one that is becoming increasing common in shopping centers all over the world. In the United States, shoppers at Wal-Mart the nation’s largest retailer¹ have a wide selection of products mostly produced in China. The large amount of Chinese imports have created a large selection of goods in other countries as people begin to buy more and more products made in China. These goods are even readily available in other Asian nations, where Chinese-made goods are quite popular. Chinese brand names are also becoming more well-known outside of China. The development of China has amazed the world with its growth. And also, as China is a developing economy with large amounts of labor², industries are beginning to relocate in an effort to minimize costs and increase profits. The results of these relocations are that nations are beginning to try to limit the flow of Chinese goods with the use of taxes and import restrictions³. Despite this tension, the effect of development on the Chinese economy has been massive. The rise of the Chinese domestic industry and the large amounts of trade with the international community have given the Chinese economy a large amount of influence. This influence will no doubt lead to even more development as China continues to expand its role in the international community.

在世界各地的购物中心，中国制造的标签越来越普遍。在美国，最大的零售商沃尔玛的顾客拥有广泛的商品选择权，其中大部分商品产自中国。进口大量的中国产品为其他国家创造了大量的商品选择机会，人们也开始越来越多地购买中国制造的商品。在其他亚洲国家里，也随处可见这些商品，在那里中国制造的商品很受欢迎。越来越多的中国品牌闻名国外。中国发展的速度让世界为之震惊。作为发展中的经济大国的中国拥有大量的劳动力，其产业开始重置，力争缩减成本增加利润。产业重置的结果是各个国家开始试图利用征税和进口限制来限制中国商品的流入。尽管存在这种紧张的关系，中国经济发展的影响仍然巨大。中国民族产业的崛起及其与国际社会的庞大贸易往来都给中国经济带来了巨大影响。随着中国在国际社会中角色的不断扩展，这种影响无疑会给中国带来更多的发展。
