China emerged from a "Century of Humiliation" and is now poised to be one of the world's leading economies and global policy shapers. How did the Chinese governing system evolve? Does China's more authoritarian model meet the challenges of the 21st century? How should the United States respond to China's rise? This lecture reviews China's global investment program (Belt and Road Initiative) and considers the pros and cons of China's approach to global economic engagement. What are the long-standing traditions of China that are now incorporated into Communist China? Is China really a Communist state with market characteristics? China has gone through four revolutions under four strong leaders in the last century: Sun Yat-sen, Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and now Xi Jinping. Where is China headed? Instructor: Jeff Steinberg
