China’s growing ties with emerging markets: What it means for geopolitics
Oct 27th, 2009 | By Finfacts Ireland Business & Finance Portal | Category: News worldwide
China has developed closer economic and business ties with emerging markets across the globe, raising its profile and enhancing its economic and political clout. Deutsche Bank Research says thus far, China's interests have been driven mainly by its thirst for energy and commodities - - in short, commercially-driven. DBR says it is pointless for traditional powers to try to stop China's growing influence and it would be more productive if traditional powers responded to China's emergence by enhancing their own positive engagements with EM regions.
