Working Paper - THE FUTURE OF CHINA - US COMPETITION
Foreword
In 2012 the Chinese government set a long-term goal: build China into a fully developed and prosperous country by 2049, 100 years after the founding of the People’s Republic. While Xi Jinping is seeking control of world supply chains, China’s long-term success will depend primarily on addressing its internal challenges such as an aging population, a rural-urban divide, an ongoing innovation, and reliance on carbon-based energy sources.
