内容摘要：
The lecture will focus mainly on the twenty-first century. China’s rise refers mainly to its economic and strategic rise and its growth in influence throughout the world. This has provoked a reaction from the West, especially the United States, which believes its hegemony is under threat. Various theories have emerged on how the West should react, ranging from extremely negative to highly positive, from people who wish to stop China’s rise to those who want to encourage it. The talk will discuss some of these, including various Western expectations of China’s future. It will try to analyse some reasons behind these reactions as well.
