China, the challenges of the stage

Abstract

This paper studies some -not all- of the challenges China faces at the present stage. The United States fears that China's independent development will dispute its hegemony in the future, opposing it in all fields, including the military. The method of production, the different forms of ownership in China today, the coexistence of different means of production, the trade war, state enterprises, the strengths and weaknesses with regard to the United States in the field of technology, the recent US offensive in this field (the Chip law, bans on exports of technological advances to China, etc.) and the indicators of the dispute in the military field are analyzed. Other challenges briefly exposed: covid-19, the internationalization of the yuan, the environment, corruption and the power aspirations of the new capitalist class. The last point is a synthesis and reflections.
