The Rise of China

China has emerged as a global superpower in the 2010s, with its economy becoming the largest in the world by some measures. Its rise has led to geopolitical tensions with the United States and other countries.

China’s economic growth has allowed it to become a major player in international politics, using its wealth and influence to promote its interests around the world. The country has engaged in massive infrastructure projects across Asia, Africa and Latin America through its Belt and Road Initiative. It has also increasingly integrated itself into global institutions such as the World Trade Organization, the United Nations and the G20. China’s rise has had a profound impact on global trade and geopolitics, with its increasing presence shaping the international system for years to come.
