subject: How Far Away Is China From Being A Superpower? [print this page] In an article published in the China Youth Daily, the famous American foreign affairs commentator Fareed Zakaria had once probed into the question as how could China become a real superpower.
He wrote in Time magazine that from American businessmen to African farmers to Australian diplomats, people had gradually realized Chinas tremendous impact on the world. People always say that the United States needs a new strategy toward China, while the fact is that China needs new China strategy. China needs to recognize that it has become a world power and its every move will stir in-depth analysis. People expect act by law and even look forward to helping maintain the rules.
According to Gallup analysis, under the circumstances of the global economic slump, China is to achieve rapid development, but the U.S. remains the influence on these Asian countries. Among them, the Philippines, Korea and other countries still have historical alliance with the United States. Some media in Hong Kong take a similar attitude. An article published by Asia Times Online said that the Asian century may not exist. In the article, it was said that the worst thing was that China would draw an erroneous conclusion from the U.S. financial meltdown that planned economy enjoyed the advantage over the crisis-prone capitalist, and thus that a weak United States was to the China's interests. China's biggest challenge is not a strong but weak United States. Pacific American peace has provided a stable background for China's economic boom. China will take the United States as the enemy rather than a malicious opponent, China will fall into decline.
Thus, it is suggested that China should attract the loyalty to the nation. The reason why the United States was able to become the world's top scientific and technological power is closely related to its widely attracting and recruitment of talents of the world. China should attract more students to return, which is a very important talent development strategy. If the United States relies on a strong scientific and technological environment, competitive material conditions to plunder the talent, then China should rely on the centripetal force of the nation.
To attract talents with an excellent environment, and then with influence and creativity of the talents to let the community become better, and this is the starting point to being the leading superpower.
In fact, when people all over the world come to China to realize their China Dream, and to become proud of being Chinese citizens, China will be near to being a superpower.
