Yes — an effective introduction to an informative essay on globalization in China should include all of those elements. Below is a short model introduction you can adapt, followed by the main subtopics to preview and a few solid sources to cite.

Model introduction (approx. 5–6 sentences)
Globalization — the deepening of economic, political, and cultural connections across borders — has reshaped China’s development since the late 20th century. After opening reforms and its 2001 accession to the World Trade Organization, China became a leading exporter, a major destination for foreign direct investment, and an active international actor through initiatives such as the Belt and Road. This essay will present evidence of globalization’s effects on China’s economy (trade, FDI, industrial upgrading), society and culture (urbanization, labor migration, cultural exchange), politics and diplomacy (trade policy, multilateral engagement), and the environment (pollution, resource pressures). Drawing on data from the World Bank, UNCTAD, China’s National Bureau of Statistics, and recent scholarship, the essay will show both the gains and the challenges globalization has produced for China and its global partners.

Main subtopics to preview in the introduction
- Economic impacts: trade growth, FDI, manufacturing and supply chains, rising incomes and inequality
- Social and cultural effects: urban migration, labor conditions, consumer culture, soft power
- Political/diplomatic effects: WTO accession, trade disputes, Belt and Road, global governance roles
- Environmental consequences: emissions, resource use, regulatory responses
- Domestic responses and future directions: policy reforms, industrial upgrading, geopolitical tensions

A few useful sources (to cite in the essay)
- World Bank — China country profile and trade indicators (data on GDP, trade, poverty reduction)
- World Trade Organization — materials on China’s accession (2001) and trade policy
- UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) — World Investment Reports (FDI trends)
- National Bureau of Statistics of China — official economic and social statistics
- Relevant scholarship for background/context: Barry Naughton, The Chinese Economy (textbook/overview); recent articles in journals such as The China Quarterly or Journal of Contemporary China

Tip: keep the introduction brief — provide a concise background, state the paper’s focus and main subtopics, and signal the kinds of evidence and sources you will use.
