Abstract
In this present world, nobody denies China’s rapid growth, in terms of economic and military, it has been starting to complement the opening up reform strategic plan since 1978. It has boosted up average 9.4 percent annual of GDP growth, and it is one of the highest growth rates in the world. So, the author compares China to the newly rising dragon. The China’s government attempts to promote its economy through the industrialization, supporting the foreign direct investment (FDI), and also enhancing the economic cooperation with the third world countries; such as the Latin American, Asian and African countries, to enhance its economic growth and the win-win cooperation among China and these countries. In military terms, the government also provides the budget for the military expenditure, making Chinese military is one of the strongest in the world, especially for the application of advanced technology. Thus, accordance with the aforementioned China’s growth in terms of both economic and military capacity, this article would like to examine the perspectives of the rise of China, specifically focusing on the critiques between the U.S. and China about the hotly debated or question “Can China Rise as a Peaceful Country?”
