China 's Rise Of The Current Standing Amongst World Powers

China has been improving its economy from last few years.It is only due to its efforts to overcome USA

- China had the most profitable and wealthiest economy compared to most of the world via their highly export-based trade.

Today’s China is the most populous country in the world and is so one of the most important political and economical forces in the world.

* From planned economy to free market powerhouse: The post - Mao era ( 1976 onwards )

Throughout history, China has been the center of many developments allowing for it to establish itself as an advanced society, one that has lasted through a number of dynastic cycles, an attempt towards the creation of a Republic, and still existing, People’s Republic of China, under the rule of China’s Communist party. Throughout this turbulent history China has made much advancement in site of its setbacks and has allowed itself to grow immensely and increase its stature, making it one of the world’s great powers.

The rise in China from a poor, stagnant country to a major economic power within a time span of twenty-eight years is often described by analysts as one of the greatest success stories in these present times. With China receiving an increase in the amount of trade business from many countries around the world, they may soon be a major competitor to surpass the U.S. China became the second largest economy, last year, overtaking Japan which had held that position since 1968 (Gallup). China could become the world’s largest economy in decades.

The China Boom: Why China Will Not Rule the World, by Ho-fung Hung. New York: Columbia University Press, 2016.

Throughout most of history, East Asia and more specifically China has been the cradle of civilization. Only until a few hundred years ago did China and most of the developing world today regress into the states they have been for the past several hundred years. For the past 100 years the US has been the world’s most powerful country, economically, militarily, and culturally; however China is resurging and is now in a position that is equal and perhaps greater to the US’s power.

China is rising in many ways— specifically in terms of their economy, their military, and global and cultural diplomacy. For the past 20 years, China has been utilizing a careful strategy for their global economy in various ways. First of all, they have secured enough raw materials so that they have a long-term supply. Chinese firms began to secure shares in Europe, the United States, and Canada.

And with this strong role China has been assuming, so has it been getting stronger by building military equipment competitive with those of the U.S. and drawing narrower a military gap it once possessed when compared to America’s armed forces. Furthermore, China has “displaced the United States as the world’s leading manufacturing nation” in 2010 (US Foreign Policy, pg. 414). Not a surprise since a majority of products purchased in the U.S. carry a label stating, “Made in China.” And predictions hold China as the world’s largest economy by year 2041 (US Foreign Policy, pg. 415). Thus, the fact that China has become an emergence matters. Since the dismantled of the Soviet Union, the U.S. was not challenged, when it came to power by any other competitor, however now, the U.S. dominance in international politics has to deal with a China that has the capabilities to lead the world’s economy.

With a gross domestic product (GDP) calculated at the equivalent of $11.06 trillion and an average growth rate of 1.84 percent, China has the potential to surpass the United States' economy by the year 2030 (citation 1). China's rapid GDP growth is caused mainly by state investment, high exportation, and successes with e-commerce (citation 2). However, China was not always a country eager to open its doors to economic opportunity. Instead, the government strove to maintain self-dependency and to limit influence from other countries. Through the decades of isolation, many countries attempted to gain trade relations with China. These attempts usually were unsuccessful. It wasn't until the late twentieth century until China began forming the economic

While it is no secret that China seeks to become a great power, her goals are juxtapose to many other nations who sought the same goal over the last century. China is not out to impose an ideology upon the rest of the world as the Soviet Union did, nor does she plan to become a great military-industrial power as did Japan. China’s goals are multi-dimensional and seek slow and steady progress over the long run. In this respect, China is acting more like America: seeking to shape the world to fit its needs, rather than reacting to the world as others shape

Without a doubt, China has been one of the leading countries in terms of economic developments in recent decades; however, the downside of the rapid economic achievements has risen to surface, calling Chinese Government to action.

I do believe that China is the one country that will grow enough to rival the west, maybe even surpass it. Meaning, I can see China become somewhat like how the United is known in the world, economy, and power wise. In the “Rise of China” it states that “the size of its economy has quadrupled since the launch of market reforms in the late 1970S and, by some estimates, will double again over the next decade. It has become one of the world's major manufacturing centers and consumes roughly a third of the global supply of iron, steel, and coal”. So, China is looking to become a top player in the world (with United States and Europe) and there will be some type of change in not only their own country, but other counties as well. In order to continue to do

The events that have taken place over the past couple of centuries, and more so the past decade, have monumentally impacted the relationship between the United States and China for better and for worse. Today, China and the U.S. have evolved into two of the most elite superpowers in the world, and they classify as some of the most prominent leaders in economics, military, technology, and universal innovation. Currently, the United States is just weeks away from electing their next president, cyber-attacks are being investigated exponentially, and the South China Sea Debate continues to be disputed. The outcomes of all these events will undoubtedly affect the relationship between China and the United States for the next 10 years.
