China constitutes a fifth of the world's population. Over the last twenty
years its economy has doubled to make it the fifth largest economy in the
world; if the pace is repeated over the next twenty it is set to become second
only to the US. The speed of its development is stunning, a combination of
cheap labour and commitment to science and technology that has never been
matched by a developing country. The Pearl River Delta, Shanghai and Beijing
have become city-regions whose growth and embrace of modernity strike the
visitor with awesome force. This is a continent on the move, recovering the
world position and wealth it once had.
The re-emergence of China as a superpower constitutes the biggest challenge
the world has had for more than a century. Never before in modern times has
the financial, trade, economic and diplomatic world pecking order been so
profoundly reconstituted with the challenger country itself in the grips of
incredible ideological and political change. This is a transition both
internally in China and externally in the world beyond beset by hazard and
risk. The world's peace and prosperity depends upon it being executed
successfully.
