The rapid economic growth of China has been more of a threat than an opportunity to traditional Chinese culture

First, the growth of China market creates new room for the growth of the world economy. With its efforts for market-oriented reform, China is turning itself into a large emerging market in the world by integrating domestic and foreign trade and forming a unified national market that has become more orderly. China has built the largest telephone systems in the world, which added 110 million new subscribers in 2003. The same year China sold 4.4 million motor vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 34 percent. That was an increase of over 1 million units in both the output and sales of motor vehicles, something rarely seen in the history of the world’s automotive industry. Such a vigorous market demand not only supported the rapid development of China’s economy but also acted as an important driving force for economic growth of the world.

Second, China’s soaring import trade provides huge opportunities for businesses in other countries. For more than 20 years, China’s imports have been growing at an annual rate of over 15 percent. Its imports amounted to 412.8 billion US dollars in 2003, an increase of 117.6 billion dollars or over one third of the increase in the total imports of the world. From 2001 to 2003 China purchased nearly 1 trillion dollars worth of foreign goods. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce estimated in 2003 that after 2020 China’s annual imports would surpass 1 trillion dollars. Many foreign businesses have made substantive benefits from China’s increasing demand for imports.

However every single opportunity always compare with a single treat. The rapid economic growth of china is a change of living standard and the values changing of the traditional Chinese culture is an opportunities for the next generation. As the developed of the western world, the western culture value is started to combine with the traditional Chinese value since the aim of china is to develop as the western country. From this phenomenon, the traditional Chinese culture is starting to disappear which produce a new culture of the western and Chinese culture. However, every single problem is with a single solution. If the original values of the traditions are being concerned, the more people will notice more about the traditional Chinese culture, the more people would like to find out the meaning behind the culture.

Due to the factor of political, social, technological, these changes are letting the china more developed. As a result the rapid economic growth of traditional chinese culture which can help the development of china. It helps the culture to introduce to the open world even sacrifices the original culture and changes have made.
