The dragon of the east sharpen their weapons and felt his voice loudly. His run a long way. Thanks to Mao Tse Tung, who founded the foundation on which it operates the backbone of today's economy, the great People's Republic has managed to occupy a prominent place in what is the current world stage on which are held political and economic processes. Until a few years ago relegated to the role of supporting actors, as it was anchored to the obsolete models that the Communists, it is ensured "a bowl of rice at all, but totally anachronistic now China bursts with great force on virtually all world markets, upheaval. Armed with an unparalleled potential, the nation with almond-shaped eyes has earned the nickname "miracle of the twenty-first century." Never was most fitting definition. In fact, it travels on production rates that are pale only to hear: "Made in China" reaches quantities which totaled about $ 191 billion annual about its central bank has reserves of about $ 1.4 trillion of which allow it to be the richest on the globe. With these conditions it is impossible to think that it can not aspire to establish, at least, the world economic leadership that, historically, is in the hands of the United States.

If it is the third nation in the world with regard to GDP, it is also the first in the world for production of CO 2 . each year are found at least 750,000 deaths attributable to pollution, over a third of the acid rain fall, 10 of its cities are among the 20 most polluted in the world, 400 million people below the poverty level and receive no any form of pension benefit, illiteracy is almost rampant. It is with these strong internal contradictions that the red giant tries to gain a prominent place on a global scale. But is this the way right to go?
