Government and business are two intimate entities whose operations are inseparable. The government of state forms the cornerstone of business success or failure. Thus, business success in any country or state is highly dependable on the interactions of the government in place and the business operators. This is because the government revenue is derived from the business transactions which are carried out within and without the boundaries of the state. Thus, the governments of different countries affect the overall business transactions in various ways. Some of the government models give ease business operations than others. In china and Australia, this is not quite different and unusual. It is quite clear that the two countries are set within the same geographical region. The provision of this intimates countries in location provides them with several similar business environments from which they can draw identical merits and demerits in trades and industrial development. Hence, our anticipation in the business performances and outcomes in both two states should not many disparities in economic growth and development. (Kim, 1998).
However, there are widely and separate discrepancies when the two states are examine. These discrepancies which are realized do arise from both natural factors considerations and human activity factors. The effect of these differences is the wide variation in government- business relations. The wide gap which is portrayed in the government – business relations in the two states has resulted in to different rates in the economic transition both in the former past periods as well as the current times. This has been agitated not only in the two nations- (china and Australia), but it has also been trend demonstrated when comparisons are done in other states from all corners of the world.
Traditionally, china state economy which is related to business growth has been affected by the human activities. This made Chinese economy largely to suffer in general. The inflictions in the economy by this time served as teaching lesson to the Chinese people in the formulation implementation of constitutional laws of the state. The economy crisis took place when the country was in entire need to have escalating economic expansion to cater for the needs of increased population in the nation. Consequently, they had to find ways of solving the scourge which deprived them their wealthy leading to unstable economic state. Thus, china has been vigilant on formulating and implementing all that which touches growth of the country’s economy. China’s decision on the formation of government was one of the paramount factors to the establishment stable country after the enormous destruction on economy by self interested individuals. They set on the tradition of having government which comprised of communism system. The shifting from anarchy system in governing to the communism government was perfected to deliver higher services to the citizens. However, what a horrible representation can people have with such establishment? It would have been equally important if the new system had not been adopted. (Kwong, 2000).
The communism government which plans and control the economy proved to be compounded with many problems in the delivery of services to the citizens. There was no single advantage in ensure that the services were delivered effectively to the intended destinations. Thus, poor involvement of the representatives from the various parts in the government was core in making generals development of the whole country. In the communistic style, it was clear that the authorities which were bestowed to the various representatives in china were poor utilized. Hence, the people benefited the least from these government regime operations. Irresponsibility and accountability were key factors of having unequal distribution of state resources from the government quarters to the intended destinations. The Australian government which is solely federal parliamentary democracy, unlike the china’s government is likely to have better basis on accountability and responsibility of the actions it undertakes in the distributions of the state resources.
The mixing of power at the different levels in Australia aids the Australians to have pooled development in the economic of the country. When powers are vested to an individual or one body of individuals, there are no chances of establishing the loop holes in the management in such a system. Thus, the federal democracy government of Australia act as good way of devolving power to various level of management. In case of poor performance crop up in government of Australia, the various representatives from the different regions can enquire the central authorise on such matter. The corrections of probes set the government on the right track in the decisions making procedures. The make the chambers of councils in Australia live very much paramount. The participation of the government organs in the various activities are realized more significantly when the time for budgeting unveils. The parties which contribute towards the budgetary issues affect the business operations not only in that particular country but also in other countries which relate with that country. Hence, the uncouth decisions which affect the usual international operation in the economic operations are corrected before the give retarding results to country. This foresight body which exists in Australia is rarely established in china. (Charles, 1977).
In order to promote trade, there must be equal promotions on the productivity in a nation. This is created by setting policies which are favourable towards breaking the obstacles of production. Several countries are lagging behind due to the lack of visions on the relationship of business matter and production. The Australian state was once in a same similar calamity. But as time is the best prophet to the future events, Australia is now no longer victim of ant-production. Since it opened its eyes on development in the late 1960s and early 1970s, it has created a magnificent picture for the world to imitate. It is in the years of 1970s when the Australian stopped up the policy of borrowing from the other far and near neighbouring countries. This decision followed after the realization of massive penalties on taxation by the world lending organizations on monetary matters. Thus, this crucial moment for the citizens cut off those benefit which the Australia gave to the world. They comprehended the secrets of the developed nation’s misuses.
The nations pretended to aid the weak nations while at the same time leeched their blood in the future. They found that their produce was being reaped by those who did sow and with such open mindedness; they established an intricate working system that touched issues on the industrial policies. These policies stand high in the overall working conditions in the development of trade and industries. The Chinese government, since the time of globalization and industrialization has made no significant policy changes which could allow better trade growth and developments. The policies which still work quite well on limited conditions on relying on loans from the outside neighbouring states or from other world lending organizations, promotes regressive business activities. Thus, the country has for long time struggled to revive to the modern world class country in development yielding to a total vain. (Merchant, 1997).
The neo- government in Australia gets concerned a wide range of activities in the sector of commerce. The government has very enthusiastic working principles which are aimed at matching the country development with the business transactions. The uniqueness of this government is the use of civilized working manners in which the citizens are much more informed in the policy working. The government in Australia has hugged a task which is not really played by many other governments in the globe. They really encourage their citizens on working through the laid down protocol. The people of Australians get governmental guidance which supports the Australians on many ways in business matters. There are a number of government administrative labourers whose designated duties are solely to work towards provision of advice to the citizens readily and willing to embark on investment. Unlike in Chinese government culture, the load of searching for advisory work is no longer in the hands to the direct beneficially on the investment. This has made it quite easier for the inhabitants of Australia to venture in to diverse transaction in trade. The Australian government has the view which many professional and experts from widely drawn sectors would largely agree to. They put their full efforts of bringing the necessary information to the people, as it is said “knowledge is power to conquer and win,” which cannot be deprived off by any thing except death. This is daring and stun encouraging outstanding attitude, the Australian community has eradicated what at first seemed to devour the state and make it an empty dumping pit for the developed countries. The government efforts on implementing the unique practice have made each and every person who inhabits in their boundaries to feel proud of the country. Conversely to the Chinese government, they are liberated from the low levels of apt poverty by working through knowledgeable activities which are high profit generating projects. (Martin, 2000).
Australia has got wide products which are produced by the different established industries. The number of the products produced by the Australians is as much as almost twice those manufactured from the china state. Although there are higher products being produced in these states, globalisation of the world markets are being affected day in day out. The globalise market has lead to stiff competitiveness in the world’s market. Then, government of Australia bears the challenges in the securing of market in the international venues. In combating such challenges which always exist in the market places, there are various treaties and trades unions which the Australian government has join hands with. The joining the various trade unions, the government has hiked its efforts of supporting the various companies. The Australia having stable politics which are much more amiable to trade as compared to china, it has launched persuasive working conditions between its various sectors and the companies. The setting up of stable markets for the Australians has been affiliated to the productions of high quality products. Hence, the government is lending its hand to the companies by offering them loans and grants to broaden their research on products and new technologies of productions. Thus the Australian produce has for the last three decades been in high demand as their features both in beauties as well as in durability is immensurable. This means citizen are benefiting from the country policy which gives the companies capability to access more funds for research on product with serious focus on future developments. Unlike in china, a larger percentage of the government revenue is also used as grants and subsidies to newly established organizations. This makes the companies in Australia to produce and expand its markets from the l local markets to the international markets with eases. These subsidies makes the products of these companies to be at lower prices as compared to Chinese products, thus the people of Australia take the advantage of low price dominating the international markets in their free trade unions. (George, 1990).
Increase in the number of industries and the trade work in Australia state has created the need for a change in the labour market. China has the highest population of people in the region. This poses threats to the employment sectors in the country. Conversely, the Australian population is too low as compare to the need of the industrials labour and trade. The dawn for globalization of labour in the many countries including Australia was not a paramount start to get labour from other countries. People from all parts of the world have travelled from far ends to secure such prestigious jobs in the state. This policy which has been included to provide free movement of labour has enabled the Australians to increase their productivity almost to two folds on goods which are of high demands. The widespread importation of cheap labour especially from the Africa countries has also made it to establish new territories of their markets. Although there is high unemployment which provides cheap labours in most part of china, there are maximum interactions of the indigenous with foreign people from different parts of the world. Thus, many companies are freed from market deficiency through world interaction. Many products have remains to secure markets within and without the country’s boundaries in similar manner of the Australian. This is eliminates the element of stunted growth in the economic. This has further been enhanced by the government to accepting to be in the trade unions in the recent time. The joining of the world trade organization for the china has spurred the Chinese interaction activities in trade. Thus, the Chinese practice a kind of networking and leverage tactic in the business world. (Lodge, 1990).
Where there is no accountability and transparency in business there is minimal chance of prosperity in the economic sector as well as in the business world. While focusing on the central government of china, there are major and coherent laws which are made from top –down legislation. The Chinese government with established central government is empowered with regulative methods in business especially in the local government level. The operation of the Chinese government ranks in the top list of governments which frequently interferes with business transaction. This has led to many states especially the United States to frequently criticise the china government for this fraud operation. (Marsh, 1992).
The structures of the government set up are very important in business operations. The coordination of business affairs by the traders and the governments are two inseparable activities as one boost this other. This is much important as far as to the consideration of tax collections and legal documentary requirements. The formation of the central government in the Australia state enables the countries to remove the long course of this documentary works. The central government is much elaborates and easy to operate as compared with the communistic kind of government. The federal democratic central government removes the bureaucracies which are major loop holes in which the vices of business can be contracted. The government formed by federal democracy in which all the decision making are to discuss in one level, then, low level of having corruptions are often experienced. (Madrick, 2005).
The communist government poses all sorts of risks on the business operators in the daily operations of the businesses. The commonest evil which is drawing the world in the deep seas is the lack of transparency and accountability in the government. The vices are much rampant in countries which are developing like the Chinese country. In the communistic government, bureaucracies are bleeding the evil of corruptions in addition to delayed working processes in distributions chains. The result of this is low economic growth as large fiscal amounts enters in to the wrongly destinations. These are mostly in the politicians in high ranks. This obvious call for rethinking of building new policies in which a new government set up has to be first formed to eliminate the old rooted cultures of the already existing government. The realization of the effects of corrupt government in the china sates will stop the retard growth of the country. The lacks of checked laws and regulation which are not maintained by those in the authorities have lead to exploitation of the Chinese. Furthermore, although, there are comprehensive constitutional laws which can help the citizen from these exploitation conditions , the government set has for long culture and bend the laws to favour there own desire. This has affected the morel in the production with many business operators complaining on losses due heavy demands from the authorities. (Mack, 1997).
