Development of China appears to
have taken off like the rocket, however this rapid development of China has not
always been smooth. This research aims to find the role of Chinese institutions
in the development of the country Today, world has become global village and
organizations from one region of world have opportunity to do their businesses
in other region and for this reason, China is very attractive place for those
businesses but still doing business in China is not as easy as it looks.
During the era of 90s, many of
the foreign organizations were operating in China but at the same time, they
were facing many challenges as the government of China has made very strict
policies which international companies have to follow in China. In addition,
there are so many other problems like difference of language, environment,
political and economic issues of China which company had to cater. The foreign
companies had set a perception about their total revenues as the economy of
China was much stable and in that period and their salaries were so high like
more than double but soon they got realized that it was their mistake to expect
such high from the Chinese economy (Meredith, 2007).
In 2007, per capita income of
China was estimated as $2, 000 and there has been a 23 unceasing extensive gap
among the regions and salaries across the state. Besides it, in the year of 2006,
one hundred million citizens of state were capable to afford the things as for
their luxury and beyond the necessities. On the other hand, a great number of
citizens of China still have not enough money to fulfill their basic
necessities even such as computers, phone, food and toothbrush etc. (Meredith,
2007).
Even though there were many
business opportunities in China but in a survey, it has been shown that only 38
% of international organizations are even successful to cover the cost which
they invest on different operations this survey was conducted by World Bank in
China (World Bank Report, 2008). To operate a business in China an organization
has to deal with much difficulty as inadequacies because of high bureaucracy,
interruption which is happen because of financial transactions and major
different difference among culture, language, government and environment. China
is going to be advanced day by day but the climate of China is not good for
foreign companies as compare to the opportunities and stabilities of China.
The responsibility of the
institutions of economy of China is to give a mechanism to citizens of decision
making to make them think that how, what and for whom will society execute the
economic undertakings which are deliberated as the priority in the State. In
economic development of state, the economic institutions are the central
factors (Shanker, 2003).
The central government of China
has a proper control on the system of central planning of China. The local
government of the state has little freedom over available resources and can
make the decisions but at the same time they are only allowed to deed on the
central government behalf and have to follow the instructions also.
At this time great number of
research workers has attentive and focus on the institution rather the
determinants development and on the role they are playing. On the other hand,
the Constantine’s Hashim and Persefoni in 2014 had researched the institution and
the impact of their performance and role on the economic condition of a
country. It is also said that institutions play an essential role in the
success of investments and also important for a long term supportable expansion
revealed by Mauro (1995) and Barro (1997).
The currently primarily
literature has express that there is a good and smooth relationship which exist
among the development and the institutions but often institutions produce
enormously changed results by some similar features among the different groups,
societies and in the regions also (Saima, Nasir and Muhammad, 2014).
The most significant factor of
the rule of development is the law which is implemented on the government of
the state to give a base to make it sure that property rights are secure and
safe over there this is called “the rule of law” by Qian (1999). The regulation
of laws is individual in the socialism and there is no nearly no existent of
property rights practically. Though to make the market behavior more effective
and efficient it is obligatory to ensure the security of property rights by
generate a system of law in which problems and individual rights or
responsibilities and clear guidelines must be given. To generate a market
competition, the government of the state must provide ensures to the private
sectors to protect their privileges (Qian, 1999).
Pande & Udry (2005) have
demonstrated that the development work for long – term is rapid in the states
which have the good law of administration, smooth institutions operations, and
protection of privileges of private sectors, improved and uncorrupted
government bureaucrats, improved level of democracy, great quality institutions
contracts and the trustworthy (Pande & Udry, 2005). Acemoglu &
Robinson, (2012) state that it is important to strengthen the governmental
institutions in order for the development of the Chinese economy. There are
many indications that proved that the democratic institutions, the regulation
of laws, stable governance, and higher GDP help to attract the great number of
international organizations to embark some of its most relevant factors. The
accountability and the governance of democratic are not the end point after the
state has experienced the social and economic progress but relatively than to
begin from the attitude of an extra supportable development (Acemoglu &
Robinson, 2012).
Heckelman et al., (2008) have
created an empirical evaluation a d theoretical model of the connection among
the economic, corruption and institution development. The theoretical model of
the Heckelman has shown the several numbers of probable equilibrium
configurations in the linked among the growth, corruption and the quality of
institution. If the position of institution is stable and good than the
corruption has the destructive impact on the on the growth in a government with
the great quality of institutional stated by them. The research has laid stress
on the extent on quality of institution and its influence on the growth of
economy. The outcome of the research has concluded that the economic stability
and institutional quality have huge importance to bring more business in China
(Zhuang et al., 2010).
According to the writers,
Kaufmann and Kraay (2002) have calculated index based aggregate indicators of
governance in which they have addressed multiple dimensions of governance. The
six aggregate indicators that are used by the writers are as follow:
Voice and Accountability: In this
dimension, the involvement and participation of the citizen is addressed in the
selection of a government for their country.
Political Stability: In this dimension,
it is addressed that what are possibilities exists to overthrow a government
from power.
Government effectiveness: In this
accept it is addressed that how effectively a government is managing its roles
by measuring the quality of public services and bureaucracy.
Regulatory Quality: In this
dimension the government’s policies friendliness is addressed.
Rule of Law: this dimension
measure that effectively the law system is protecting the rights of the people
living in the country
Corruption Control: this
dimension measure the effectiveness of the accountability system within the
country.
