Abstract: This paper explores the intricate relationship between globalization, urbanization, and rural economies, with a focus on the Global South and a specific case study of China. It examines how globalization has driven significant transformations in rural economies, leading to accelerated urbanization trends. The paper provides a comprehensive analysis from two major perspectives—urbanization and globalization—highlighting the rapid pace of development and its associated challenges. By analyzing China’s experience and comparing it with neighboring countries, the paper delves into the side effects of these modern developments, such as intensified exploitation and the loss of species diversity. The study also offers a multi-faceted analysis that considers geographic, political, and economic factors to understand the broader impacts of globalization. Moreover, this paper emphasizes the importance of environmental protection in the context of rapid development and provides valuable insights into the role of agricultural trade in economic globalization. It assesses the influence of agricultural trade between China and its neighbors on local residents, domestic political stability, and economic policies. The paper concludes with practical suggestions to address the challenges posed by globalization and urbanization, contributing to the ongoing discourse on sustainable development in rural economies.
