A Chinese Century is the idea that over the next 100 years, China will become the world's most powerful, prosperous and influential country. China is already the world's second biggest economy and is rapidly becoming more advanced, with more people becoming educated and living in cities than ever before. As China's economy grows, it will continue to become more powerful, allowing it to shape global events more than ever before. This means that decisions made in China could have major impacts all around the world. For example, decisions to help create a better environment, improve global health, or increase economic growth could have huge benefits everywhere. As China gets more powerful, it could also use its resources to make other countries bend to its will. So, Chinese Century could be a very good thing or a very scary thing, depending on how China uses its power.
