"Let China sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world." Napoleon's words seem eerily prescient today, as the shock waves from China's awakening reverberate across the globe. In China Shakes the World, James Kynge, traces these tremors from Beijing to Europe to the Midwest as China's ravenous hunger for jobs, raw materials, energy, and food - and its export of goods, workers, and investments - drastically reshape world trade and politics.

While America is still reeling from the 2008 financial crisis, a high unemployment rate, and a surge in government debt, China's economy is the second largest in the world, and many predict it will surpass the United States' by 2020. President Obama called China's rise "a Sputnik moment" - will America seize this moment or continue to treat China as its scapegoat? Mainstream media and the U.S. government regularly target China as a threat. Rather than viewing China's power, influence, and contributions to the global economy in a negative light, Ann Lee asks, "What can America learn from its competition?"

Per anni l'economia cinese è stata lodata e temuta per la sua capacità di crescita inarrestabile. A partire dalla fine degli anni Settanta, il risveglio del drago condizionò pesantemente le economie di tutti gli altri paesi, che dovettero adeguarsi per resistere meglio alla sua influenza, ma che beneficiarono anche di questo potente balzo, che ha trainato in maniera sostenuta l'economia mondiale negli ultimi decenni. Attualmente l'economia cinese è in crisi.

A pig in lipstick is still a pig. It's time to face facts about what the world is up against. As a nation, China has gone from being the world's greatest superpower to ashes and back to the top four times in its history. Everyone in the world is now aware that patient zero for SARS-CoV-2 was at the Wuhan Institute for Virology, which is a BSL-4 lab, in Wuhan, China and that gain of function techniques were used by the epidemiologists in the lab to lose function to make SARS-CoV-1 less virulent, meaning it didn't kill its host and was able to spread globally causing the COVID-19 pandemic. ...

Historian and geopolitical expert Michael Auslin argues that far from being a cohesive powerhouse, Asia is a fractured region threatened by stagnation and instability. Here he provides a comprehensive account of the economic, military, political, and demographic risks that bedevil half of our world, arguing that Asia, working with the United States, has a unique opportunity to avert catastrophe - but only if it acts boldly.

In the past 30 years, China has transformed from an impoverished country where peasants comprised the largest portion of the populace to an economic power with an expanding middle class and more megacities than anywhere else on Earth. This remarkable transformation has required, and will continue to demand, massive quantities of resources. Like every other major power in modern history, China is looking outward to find them.

Ryan Hass charts a path forward in America's relationship and rivalry with China rooted in the relative advantages America already possesses. Hass argues that while competition will remain the defining trait of the relationship, both countries will continue to be impacted - for good or ill - by their capacity to coordinate on common challenges that neither can solve on its own, such as pandemic disease, global economic recession, climate change, and nuclear nonproliferation.

The American Dream is close to being replaced by a living nightmare. Key commodities that are essential to our daily lives and that are widely believed to be abundant are running critically short. Even worse, the Chinese are doing what they can to monopolize the world's dwindling resources. The U.S. is now largely dependent on our greatest economic rival for rare earth elements as well as a host of other minerals - all of which are absolutely essential to the development of alternative energies....

The world and economics are very interesting things. One thing is for certain, that is, in human history people, women and men, have traveled the globe for economic opportunities.

In 1784, when Americans first voyaged to China, they confronted Chinese authorities who were unaware that the United States even existed. Nevertheless, a long, complicated, and fruitful trade relationship was born after American traders, missionaries, diplomats, and others sailed to China with lofty ambitions: to acquire fabulous wealth, convert China to Christianity, and even command a Chinese army. In America's First Adventure in China, John Haddad provides a colourful history of the evolving cultural exchange and interactions between these countries.

China is the great economic success story of the past 30 years. Since the "reform and opening-up" policy was introduced in 1978, China has changed beyond recognition.

Ideas about globalization have become so completely accepted that they are now embraced as the conventional.

It's common knowledge that China has the fastest-growing economy in the world. What is not common knowledge is exactly how Western companies can gain a foothold and increase their profits by doing business inside this next great superpower.

Up until January of 2020, the world was living in a time of peace and prosperity that was unprecedented in world history. A year later, we have been locked in our homes, fired from our jobs, and governments are reeling at the public health crisis that is facing them. The level of cooperation between epidemiologists has been sold as being at a high level, but international investigators were only permitted to enter Wuhan, China a year after the pandemic so subtly permeated the globe from the city. The timing of the disease and the secrecy regarding its origins are all suspect, and they are ...

China GDP has grown from $300 per capita to more than $10,000 in the past thirty years and lifted more people into the middle class than in any other country at any other point in human history.

Tensions between the world's superpowers are mounting in Washington, D.C., and Beijing. But between these hubs of high-level politics, an entirely new reality is emerging. Yet the People's Republic of China and the state of California have built deep and interdependent socioeconomic exchanges that reverberate across the globe, and these interactions make California a microcosm of the most important international relationship of the 21st century. In The Transpacific Experiment, journalist Matt Sheehan chronicles the real people who are making these connections.

China's economic success is well-known, and it isn't a joke. It has come at a cost to the freedom of all humanity, and the people of China aren't solely to blame. In reality, every time you go to the store, you vote for China and the Chinese Communist Party when you open your pocketbook. Look out the window! Are people struggling where you live, are people hungry, are there enough jobs, etc...? It's not China's fault; it's ours. We have chosen to elect officials and empower businesses that have allowed outsourcing that workers in most developed markets can't compete with. The Chinese work ...
