From Great Power to Superpower: Evaluating the Economic, Political, and Social Consequences of China's Ascendance for its People and the World

Abstract

As China's international influence grows, the global power landscape is undergoing an anticipated shift that could bring profound changes, from a reconfiguration of the global economic landscape to a shift in political paradigms. It is therefore essential that global citizens understand the implications of this shift in order to respond effectively to these changes. This paper therefore attempts to provide a comprehensive literary examination of China's political trajectory and its potential rise as a future global superpower. The analysis will be divided into several parts: an assessment of China's growth trajectory; An assessment of China's political stability and governance capacity; Explore China's scientific and technological innovation capabilities and military capabilities; And the implications for global security.
