Ethical Concepts of Consumption in China and the West in the Context of Globalization

Zhongzhi Zhou

Chapter Chapter 11 in Developing Business Ethics in China, 2006, pp 123-132 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The consumption culture is inextricably linked to global economic integration. As the Chinese economy is integrated into globalization, the two different concepts about consumption in China and in the West are bound to blend, as well as to collide violently. What are the features of consumption ethics in China and in the West? How do we compare Chinese and Western consumption ethics scientifically so as to reform Chinese consumption ethics for the benefit of not only economic but moral progress? These problems need to be solved properly and have become more urgent after positive enlargement of domestic demand was adopted by the Chinese government as a long-standing policy.
