To Awaken A Sleeping Dragon

Today, in the middle of the second decade of the 21st century, it is nearly impossible to not hear something or the other about China every day. To realize that China was just a sleeping country with secondary if not tertiary impact on the world economy just three decades back is beyond belief for the new generation. Contemporary China has moved ahead and integrated into the global economy with such silent momentum that the emergence of China as the most important economic power has come as a surprise to most. Arguably, history has not seen such a major transformation of a country in such a short span of time through purely non-military means. It is but natural that this rapid rise should become a subject of study across the world in multiple dimensions.
