Chine, la fin de la mondialisation heureuse ?

In this article, Philippe Delalande describes China’s principal features as a world economic power and the ways in which it represents a real threat to the major industrialized countries, above all Europe and the United States.
In his view, the honeymoon period that has prevailed so far between these countries and China could end sooner than expected. China has enjoyed such rapid economic growth and has proved to be so steadfastly independent – for instance in the way it has managed its currency or satisfied the requirements negotiated when it joined the World Trade Organization – that it has been engaged in a number of power struggles with its partners and competitors. The outcome of these conflicts will not necessarily make everyone happy.
