Chiny w XXI wieku – Potęga regionalna czy mocarstwo światowe?

Global economic recession which started in 2008 significantly contributed to revealing China’s growing potential on the international arena. For the Beijing administration this means a necessity to develop and implement an optimal strategy of “going outside the region” paying attention to the priority of internal development of the PRC and a non-confrontational course in policy toward other regional and world powers. However, expectations of the West concerning the international engagement of the Country of the Middle do not conform to the Chinese vision of a future global order. Strengthening its economic leadership in its immediate surroundings and maintaining stable relations within the triangle of Washington – Moscow – Beijing, China seeks the ultimate answer to the more and more frequent question on the character and scale of its “international responsibility” both in a political and economic dimension.
