Title:   Will the 21st Century Be China's?

One can hardly avoid globalization these days, and China is leading the way. Americans buy Made-in-China toys, clothes and shoes; we eat Chinese food. China is moving into biotech and computer manufacturing, buying oil fields, and entering into world financial markets. China is the second largest economy in the world, after the United States. China has the world's largest army. Will China be the next superpower? How shall we in the United States respond? The class will explore the varied impacts of China's fast and ongoing development on the USA and the world from economical, political and cultural perspectives.
