Description

After three decades of unprecedented economic growth, China is now the worlds largest exporter, its largest carbon emitter, and the second-largest economy. Extrapolating from these seismic changes, Hu Angang forecasts that by 2020 China will become a mature, responsible, and attractive superpower that will contribute, alongside the EU, to the end of the unipolar era dominated by the United States.
