A new world order: the rise of China and the decline of the West
While many are already talking about the notion of a shift in power from West to East, a thought-provoking book by author Martin Jacques called When China rules the world takes this even further by proclaiming that China will not only thrive in the 21st century, but will do so at the expense of the United States.

i have woken up to how great china is
Recently in March, China leader Xi visited France and Germany. The welcome from European countries is a clear indication that China's status and peaceful rise policy is now well received in Europe. In comparison, Japan Abe's trip to Europe is not so welcome. I hope US choose the right working partner to build a better world.

Yea peaceful that China gave the least amount of money when the Philippines had a typhoon. Yea peaceful that China fought a war with Vietnam. That is peaceful . Tell that to the dead. Now China is telling everyone that the sea belongs to them? I guess Mao murdered 70 million Chinese so a few more million dead won't make any difference. LIfe if china is great. I quote, The woman who nearly died making your iPad Tian Yu worked more than 12 hours a day, six days a week. She had to skip meals to do overtime. Then she threw herself from a fourth-floor window. Maybe we won't have any more problems because maybe all the Chinese will jump.

Yes China assimilated a lot of different ethnic groups into the country, but the majority of the population has always been Han Chinese throughout history. Both Golden Age Han and Tang Dynasty were also ruled by Han Chinese, it wasn't foreign influence which made China great. Ancient China saw itself as more civilized and often called foreign nations barbaric. It even had a tributary system which involved many foreign nations paying tribute and recognize China as the superior nation.
This guy knows how hardworking and intelligent Chinese people are, which made all the economics development over the past 30 years. But he’s not aware of the systematical risk an autocratic system could bring to destroy the achievements of the people, which had been proven again and again in the history of China.
@Myslot2 how are they resisting the order or as you call them Illumianti? please tell me.
China, when unified into an empire in 206 BCE instead of embarking into expansionist policies, it built the Great Wall to defend and protect itself. The last 2,000 years showed that China, being the most powerful and dominant nation (don't even think of Romans, the Romans could not match with the highly advanced armies of Han China), it pursued the peaceful policies of live and let live.

@privatepinkbits You can ask any philospher in the West or Asia about the Greeks and they will tell you that classical Greece produced some of the most important thinkers in human history. The fact that intellectuals around the world still discuss the implications and ramifications of ancient Greek thinkers is testament to their importance and stature. Other thinkers in the ancient world made important contributions to civilization but the Greeks take a back seat to no one.

The problem is that we don't make many of our own goods here anymore. Go into a Target -- almost everything from pens to furniture to dog toys and even some brands of dog food -- is made in China. Since so many corporations have closed factories and shut down infrastructure here, it's all over there in China so even if we decided all of a sudden that we want to "buy American", there wouldn't be much to buy... and it's way too expensive now for corporations to move factories back to the US.
What is the West? As far as I'm concern it began with the British Colonial empire, which included colonies in Africa, Canada, The North American Colonies, New Zealand, Australia and India . British colonies one by gained independence from the British. Even at the height of the British Empire, Imperial Manchu China had the world's largest economy. British had nothing to trade with China, leading to Opium Wars. US Hegemony was just a fluke of history that lasted less than a century. China's longest dynasties lasted 400 years.

I am not sure if I understand what you mean. The "West" started with Ancient Greece, which produced an impressive amount of science that was shared with the East all the way to India. Then after Greece, there was Rome, and then the Byzantine Empire (which was Greek, not Eastern), and then the rise of Western Europe in the 1400s and beyond. I agree that it wasn't until more recent times that the West had such lopsided power in the world, but you speak as if the West had nothing of substance before the 1600s and that China ruled over everyone before that point. Neither is an accurate point to make, and it is far too commonly repeated by uneducated masses of people who aren't really thinking about what the economic experts mean when saying "China is returning to a place of power".

fc1280 China was the producer of Silk, of fine Porcelain, which people to this day still call "Fine China". No matter how the common people around the world argue, officially China has been recognized as the originator of the Magnetic Compass, of Paper (different than Egyptian Papyrus), of Gun powder and of earliest Movable Printing. But lets not even focus on these four innovations.

how do chinese feel about koreans?
so by the 1700's it's empire was already extensive and the even went china (macau for example) and even found australia around 250 years before the british did so individually western countries had already taken over before the 1700's
That's how ancient China used to think about other nations, I'm not saying I agree with them. But the fact so many nations were willing to pay tribute and obey China is testimony to China's influence and strength in Asia. These nations are called tributaries and China often traded with them, helped these nations get along with each other and even gave military aid when needed. Korea for example was rescued by Ming China from 2 Japanese invasions during the 1500s.
Ranggath, what you just stated is WHY they will dominate: an isolationist foreign policy only concerned with economic growth. America is the opposite, it constantly invades other countries at it's expense and constantly wastes it's wealth on welfare and unproductive economic programs. China should be more vocal in pointing this out to America, but unfortunately China is rather soft-spoken in foreign policy, but this is also to protect itself. Very, very wise.

Not sure about that. China can easily go into several traps that will stop their growth for a long time. One is the "low earning trap". Its not easy for them to go over from a low income export economy to a economy where people start spending and earn more. In that periode, they will loose a lot of their export. Another might be a economic situation similar to the japanese with a deflationary situation for decades. It will be interesting.

Lol, the Indian influence is nothing compared to Chinese influence in Asia and also explain why it's not more advanced than Europe? Roman Empire was powerful but it can't match the military might and technological advantage of Han China which existed around the same period. China's navy for example had massive warships called Louchan which can hold 800 troops, it was designed for long range range attacks and had good protection too. The Roman warships are like childrens toys in comparison.

Ancient China was among the most advanced in the world and has been a superpower in Asia a very long time, that is a fact. It's also a fact China used to much ahead of Europe in science, mathematics, engineering and many things which builds our modern civilization, this was even said by many Western historians. Why don't you present some factual evidence to argue with mine instead of keep claiming I don't know much about history? Is it because you can't find any?
the problem of USA is that they are so proud of that they could exercise their so called democracy to elect the incompetent people to be in the key position for the future of the Nation. That is something which sucks.
I remember a while back PBS did a special on black-American soldiers who captured by the Chinese during the Korean War. Those Americas said that they knew they had no business getting involved in Korea since they as black men had no freedoms back home in the US. Some went back to America, and some stayed in China, learned Chinese and lived out the rest of their lives in China with their new families Wo3 hui shou yidian zhongwen.....

I'm not so sure mate, look how they treat their own people ...
Can’t make this up.
What is "the West" these days. The ethnic makeup of Western nations are rapidly changing. The West also need foreign investment to stay afloat in these difficult times, and overseas market to sell their goods and services to when their own citizens are not buying enough.
Thank you for displaying intelligence in the latter comment. ;) While our education system has gone down the crapper, rest assured there are still alot of articulate Americans who are trying to reverse the trend. Before we can revamp the education system we need to remove some idiots in power and on WallStreet. Fact is the U.S. & Europe are trailing our Eastern counterparts and we will continue to trail until we make major changes for national interests and not selfish individual ones.
what time was the last time for the past 2000 years that China try to take over Japan ? however, they spent 2000 years to build Great Wall, this land (China) is the best place on earth, not cold like Russia, not hot like India, Chinese people are humble people, not aggressive people.
I concur, the most amazing thing is that pretty well everything thats happening geopolitically 2day is foretold/predicted in the bible; An example of this is that we ar warned that in the last days the Kings of the east(China is a nation of tribes/kings) shall amass an army numbering 200 million..... In the mid 90's the chairman of china stated if push comes to shove China could field an army of 206 million troops.
@dearrebata China does really have a long life. Still surviving from the past. :O
But their GDP per capita is still far behind USA or Canada.
So?????? What does debt have to do with real GDP? China has the world's second largesrt economy in terms of real GDP and PPP and that is a undoubtable fact, at least for now.
@manchewl Umm, excuse me? UK and China have same average IQ; I would appreciate it if you specify that you are talking about the Half Brain Americans?
There are not enough resources on the planet to fuel this imagined exponential boom -all world economies are in contraction- and culturally China will be a very difficult export as it's not as seductive to the west as Western pop-culture was and still is. China's society is also extremely hierarchical in structurefar more than the West.

Well, more than 15%, total exports to the US were over 20 % in 2011, same for the EU.China does not have a reliable domestic market. I gess we could by your stuff- I'm from South Korea. But I don't think that wil be enough to make up for the EU and the United States. I think saying the United States will collapse in the next 5 years is a bit pessimistic. China will play a larger role in world affairs in future, but it will be decades before China has a big enough domestic market to support it.
@Metalgear55 greed thats what its all about, china had to be there to capitalise on it and they did, thats just good bussiness sense. money makes the world go round.
Not GDP. You are talking about PPP. The US GDP is 15,1 trillion USD, while the chinese is 7,2. Thats more than twice the size. Maybe China will overtake the US by 2025, but they will meet a lot of problems. We allready see they are having problems keeping up the growth and are now growing only by building things they dont really need.

All of you give it up, regardless of what side you're on. What you want to hope is that everybody wins. The economies are all connected and reliant on eachother now. One goes down, the rest follows. The impact is directly proportional to how big the countrys economy is. One of the reasons this occurs is due to emotional humans who take sides. Don't oil the machine of arrogance. Your loyalties to your "nations" is misguided.
indeed it is ridiculous to see or judge China from the western perspective, and it is foolish to think that somehow the western perspective is the norm, that somehow the western form of individual liberty is the norm and should be applied to the rest of the whole is arrogant

a state cannot be a political superpower without also being an economic superpower. China's growth rate at 8% GDP is not only uneven and centralized in the cities, but is also unsustainable. 2.5% is a healthy growth rate. Without serious energy contracts, China's growth rate will become stunted. All currencies are pegged at the US dollar. If that Bretton-Woods system from 1971 collapses, we will go back to the gold standard.

For your infomartion, the US was just overtaken by China as the largest manufactorer in the world. So the picture of a US not producing anything is wrong. Btw, China is now depended on high growth and they are building cities empty of people, office building that is empty, etc. ANd local governments has loaned billions just to hit their growth target given by Beijing.

There is much that the West can learn from the PRC, some of it relates to ancient China, but most of the lessons come from the post 1949 era. The PRC has made considerable progress in destroying feudal relations.
China is doing well in many ways, but suppression of freedom of speech, massive pollution, government corruption and suppression of resistance, an ignored aids epidemic, and conviction to work camps without trial because of political protest are all signs that China still has a long way to go. Yes, the US and UK aren't perfect, but I sure do enjoy trial by jury, freedom of speech, and the freedom to organize and address my public grievances without government authorization.

@Machiavelli1513 USA and EU countries should improve their education systems, China does something like 70 days more schooling a year than USA and 59 more than the UK (those figures might be a little out I cannot remember the actual figures off the top of my head) It may not be the standards of schooling, but those considerable longer school years would have a impact. We should just steal the schooling systems from South Korea :) they seem to work very well.
