China is the world's most populated country and it shows because, China currently has the world's fastest-growing economy. Only 3.3% of China’s total population are unemployed.

The Europeans who dreamt of conquering Asia were under the impression that Asia was a blank slate, isolated with no history and traditions. However, that is their misconception for Asia from 500-1500 CE “was a vast world of contrast… [and] bewildering variety” thriving with many empires, capital cities, religions, and cultures (Gordon, 177). Because of this, Asia then can be classified as a compilation of many key eras such as the Medieval Age in China and the Golden Age. Such prosperous times for Asian states and empires are to be accredited to the notable networking in Asia at this time period. People who utilized the establishment of fundamental institutions such as the religions of Islam and Buddhism and various modes of trading and traveling were able to facilitate the diffusion of ideas and cultures therefore indirectly contributing to the overall connection of Asian states and empires during 500-1500 CE.

Tracing back the history of China, Xia Dynasty of the second millennium BCE was the earliest dynasty in China, which was centered along the Yellow River. Before China was unified, it was the time during which most of China's cultural tradition arose. Chinese civilization ascended and developed in a vast area, one-third larger than the United States if such dependencies as Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, and Tibet are included. For centuries China was almost completely isolated from the other centers of civilization by mountains, deserts, and seas. This isolation helps explain the great originality of China's culture. China has many mountain ranges and three river systems that rise close together on the high Tibetan plateau and flow eastward to

Mao Zedong, the leader of China during the third quarter of the 20th century, organized two movements in his country in an attempt to develop China 's economy through the establishment of communism. Through The Great Leap Forward, Mao planned to change the layout of the Chinese economy by forcing collectivism on his country and implementing other ways to speed up production. Since this movement failed, he then implemented The Cultural Revolution. It consisted of the same goals but was carried out through violence and was also an utter failure. These two movements failed because of the lack of organization with which they were performed. This lack of organization manifested itself in a number of different ways. The government did not care about their people, the reforms themselves were not planned out in detail, the government did not think about the spontaneity of young people, they did not consider the effect violence would have on their country, they did not realize the decline in education that would result from the participation of students in the revolution, they did not plan well economically, they did not examine the negative effects of communes, and they did not foresee the large number of deaths that would plague their country. Although designed to rapidly increase China 's economic growth through communism, the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution had the opposite effects and significantly diminished China 's economy. The two direct causes of the failure

Classical China expected women to act and look a certain way. It had been clearly laid out what qualities they were to possess and their prescribed responsibilities. These qualities and responsibilities were typically based off of how it would benefit her husband. Classical China was a patriarch society, so everything revolved around men.

In the imperial China, the role of controlling the emperor's power started with a historiographer, then to be a permanent position, however, what the objectives controlled is the administrative officers and their remonstrations to the emperor in some dynasties, rather not the directly challenge emperors' power. Nonetheless, a historiographer is supposed to be responsible for assessing the historical merits and demerits of the emperor's conduct while recording the daily life. There arise therein a force to regulate the emperor's conduct. Only, the intervention of the emperor's mandate that change the objectives from the emperor himself to the other bureaucratic officers may destroy the balance.

During the time of the initial 20th century, many foreign nations saw China as weak, militarily and politically. Of these foreign nations, America was one that was prepared to capitalize Chinese resources, turning it into a trading post. Around 1898, a coalition of regular civilians got together in hopes of driving away foreign influence in China. They were thoroughly convinced that foreign presence in China would disassemble their way of life. This group, more like a chinese militia, were named “boxers” as they often used varying martial arts’. Around 1900, the empress Dowager publically endorsed the boxers, and their ideology.

The term, Golden Age, is originated from early Greek and Roman poets, who used to refer to a time where mankind was pure and prosperous. It can be used to describe a time after a technological breakthrough, or during a period when a particular art, skill, or activity has reached its peak.

Rhoads Murphey describes the history of China history is on the succession of dynasties that ruled it over a period of time until around 1912 when Republic of china was formed before rising to the current People’s Republic of China was formed in 1949. In China, a dynasty was made up of Kings or emperors that came from the same family. They ruled in succession where a king could be inherited by his son or his immediate relatives. Although china’s history is majorly regarded on the basis of dynastic ruling, other small kingdoms were established that ruled different part of china. For example, in 200AD, the fall of great Han dynasty triggered formation of smaller kingdoms all over the china which were later united by a short lived Sui Dynasty that reigned between 580 and 618 AD.

In the current anarchic world, The United States acts as the global hegemon. However, China’s recent rise to power has lead international relations experts, Ikenberry, Mearsheimer, Subramanian, and Friedberg, to predict an upcoming power shift in the international system. China’s increasing control over the Asia-Pacific region has threatened U.S. power. According to Waltz, the realism paradigm interprets the anarchic structure of the international community, as a constant power struggle. Although each country may be different, to survive, they must all strive for power. Under the liberalism paradigm, the system is still anarchical but cooperation may be achieved by shared norms, and aligned political and economical interests.
