Is China an Honest Trade Broker?
Abstract
The story of modern China can be traced back to Deng Xiaoping, who challenged the Chinese people to do even better than Japan did with the Meiji Restoration. The end result has been over forty years of extraordinary economic growth and China rising to become the second-largest economy in the world with hundreds of millions of people lifted out of poverty. Its share of global trade has also risen significantly over the past four decades with the help of special economic zones being established, along with becoming a member of the World Trade Organization and more recently the Belt and Road Initiative. But the rise of China has not occurred without suspicions and concerns along the way. From cyber espionage and stealing trade secrets to Taiwan and the militarization of the South China Sea, questions remain about China's true intentions and if it is trying to rise peacefully or overturn the liberal order. This chapter explores the history of China's rise to global superpower status and if China can be considered an honest trade broker and member of the global community under Xi Jinping.
