China: A Giant with Feet of Terracotta?

Tomasz Okraska

Abstract

China is a civilization that, after centuries of glory (and faith in its own greatness), had collapsed in the 19th century and was reborn as a world power a hundred years later, after the madness of the Maoist era. Today, Chinese leaders no longer hide their global aspirations, but they face limitations caused by the policies resorted to by other powers, but, above all, have to struggle with numerous internal problems that became apparent when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. Xi Jinping himself, the most powerful leader of the PRC since Mao, once said that China could not become a superpower until 2049.
