China has undergone a high-speed economic transformation and modernization process. It is now ranked as the second largest world economy, with the potential to reach power parity with the US. China’s economic rise has also triggered a reconfiguration of the country’s global strategy: Beijing has started to formulate its own visions of world order and global governance solutions. China’s active positioning as a global power has fueled old and new threat scenarios, and is widely perceived as a challenge to the “liberal” world order and an attempt to replace the US as the center of world economics and politics.
