China's+Future+Role+in+the+World

China, in the next 50 years, will continue on the path of progress that they have traveled on for the past two decades. The economic role of China will continue to grow in the world and they will be forced to take a leadership role much like the one which the U.S has now. With the growing capitalism and improving freedoms in the country, China will become a nation much more open than it is now and other nations will have the opportunity to benefit from it. Certain conflicts may result from the progress of China and its global competitors as it ascends to a stronger role and one can only speculate at the outcome. Regardless, China's future impact is going to be huge as it stretches out its growing arms and other nations respond as they see fit.
