Abstract: China is one of a few communist countries to survive into the twenty-first century. The Chinese economy was on the verge of collapse in the 1970s mainly because of failures of the planned economy. After Mao Zedong’s death, China began to depart the classic Maoism and combined its political power with market forces to develop its economy, so-called the socialist road with Chinese characteristics. This Chinese development model has created the world’s fastest-growing economy and enormous global political influence. However, China’s high-speed economic growth began to decelerate in 2011 and will possibly continue to fall for years to come. Meanwhile, China faces great challenges from the mainstream of the international society. Is the China model losing power? Why? It is important especially for developed countries to address the questions in order to work with the rising power China and handle their domestic issues. This talk will discuss the domestic and international dimensions of the China model and present different perspectives to generate further discussion on the questions.
