China's economic, technological, political, scientific, and military rise has significant implications for both the international system and the regional dynamics in East Asia. The People's Republic views this development as a resurgence, a return to a leading global position. This study reflects on this process and discusses the concepts and strategies that the international community might adopt in response to China's growing self-confidence.
