Asian politics, development and Hotel Berlin

Asia is the biggest and most populated continent on the planet, containing over 4.1 billion people from 47 different countries. With about 60% of the global population living there, and with such a long history and diverse culture; the political situation across Asia varies dramatically from country to country. Asia as a whole is a hugely influential economic force, with the third largest gross domestic product (GDP) of all continents. There are also, however, many underdeveloped and poorer nations and regions within the Asian continent, often due to political instability and corruption.

In terms of GDP, China leads the way within Asia, followed by India, Japan, South Korea and Indonesia. Economic health can be measured in a number of ways however, and in nominal exchange terms, Japan is at the top, followed by China, India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, and Indonesia. South Korea has a recent history of high economic growth, by becoming an industrialised country in the 1980s (earlier than its neighbours), and now a fully developed country in the 21st century. The economies of many Asian nations have influenced the political make-up of the continent, and China in particular has changed its political attitude greatly since it started to move away from communism and towards capitalism.

North Korea is probably the one nation in Asia that has had the most troubled recent political relationship with the west. North Korea is a single-party state operating under a united front, led by Kim Il-sung and the Korean Workers’ Party. Although it is styled as a socialist republic, many people consider it to be a de-facto authoritarian and totalitarian Stalinist style dictatorship. The nations’ attitude of self reliance has been a problem for America and many other western nations who prefer to deal with governments with a more open style of leadership. The issues surrounding China and its expanding role in the capitalist world are also very interesting.

China is growing faster than any other country on Earth, and its political systems are changing along with its economic systems. As China opens up its doors to international visitors, many people are including it in their world trips along with destinations like New York and Berlin. There are a number of wellness hotel Berlin establishments well known for their great service and hospitality, with similar hotels and resorts now also starting to open in China and other parts of Asia.

The issues surrounding Asian politics and economic development are complex and hard to summarise, however the entire region is definitely going to have a huge impact on the evolution of global capitalism and international politics. Hotels like the hotel-residenz-berlin.de are starting to operate within China, Japan, and South Korea – making sure that more westerners will visit Asia and help to define and develop it even more in their own image.
