O renascimento do Dragão: o impacto da China como superpotência no século XXI

Abstract

The present work contains a contemporary analysis of the aspects that led China to become one of the largest economies in the world and, mainly, to be an actor that disputes geopolitical influence with the USA today. Divided into three chapters, the work makes a historical analysis of the economic evolution of the People's Republic of China (PRC), as well as its political and military aspects, seeking to contextualize to what extent the Chinese rise is mutually beneficial for the rest of the world and when it occurs to the detriment of other states and even at the expense of the well-being of the Chinese population itself. For this, scenarios such as the South China Sea (MSC) will be analyzed, which has a singular strategic importance for Chinese development, as well as Chinese investments outside the territory of the PRC, such as the New Silk Road, investments in the African and American continents and, finally, the current relations between China and Brazil, seeking to answer the following question: What are the impacts for Brazil due to the emergence of China as a superpower in the international system?
