Will China be the next superpower?

This book deals in a very concise manner, keeping the historical perspective in mind, with the amazing strides made by China in the last 40 years from a backward country to the forefront of developed nations. These astonishing developments have taken place in all spheres: political, social, financial and economic, trade and commerce, innovation and technology, infrastructure and military. Will China be able to take advantage of these developments to topple the United States from its superpower pedestal in the next 20-30 years? President Xi Jinping is keen to re-establish China's past glory and supremacy as a world power. China's focus is now on innovation, cutting edge technologies, world class products/services, high tech engineering, and using its financial muscle and expertise to establish global trade networks like the 'One Belt, One Road' initiative to spread China's influence worldwide. The United States now realizes that China is a 'strategic competitor'. How will this rivalry work out? The question arises whether China will finally emerge victorious as the next superpower.
