Summary/Abstract |
One of the most remarkable developments in contemporary international affairs is the rapid shift of outsiders' perception of China. Not too long ago, people believed the East Asian behemoth was on an inexorable path to glory and power.11. See Martin Jacques, When China Rules the World: The End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order (New York: Penguin 2012); Daniel A. Bell, The China Model: Political Meritocracy and the Limits of Democracy (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2015).

In the last few years, however, this view has changed dramatically; China no longer appears to be a confident great power progressing in the direction of greater openness and more reform. Instead, the country, ruled by an insecure, repressive, and inward-looking regime, has embarked on a path that is foreclosing possibilities of its evolution into a responsible great power with a more humane domestic political system.

Summary/Abstract |
Strongman rule returned to China in 2017 when Xi Jinping secured near-total political dominance. Repression remained intense while the Chinese economy performed reasonably well due to credit support. US–China relations are entering an uncertain phase. Strongman rule is likely to increase the risk of major policy mistakes and deliver few concrete achievements.

Summary/Abstract |
FORECASTERS OF the fortunes of nations are no different from Wall Street analysts: they all rely on the past to predict the future. So it is no surprise that China's rapid economic growth in the last thirty years has led many to believe that the country will be able to continue to grow at this astounding rate for another two to three decades.
Beijing's Exceptionalism by Jonathan Anderson
IS CHINA'S rise inevitable? Well, as we've learned to our great chagrin over the past twelve months, there's nothing inevitable about continued rapid economic expansion or the near-term success of any economic model, and past performance is most emphatically not a guarantee of future returns. And, as with any lower-income developing country, there are plenty of visible and unforeseen pitfalls that could hurt China's growth prospects over the coming years and decades.
However, as author and newspaperman Damon Runyon famously remarked, "The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong-but that's the way to bet." And when taking odds on the potential of today's emerging markets to mature into wealthier and more powerful states, you had best be betting on China.
