Abstract:
After China's total economic output surpassed that of Japan's and became the second-largest economy in the world, under such a premise that the international community recognized China's economic
development, the speculation of whether and when will China surpass the United States to become the
world leader has never stopped. This paper discusses who imagined China as the world leader. It
predicts that the world pattern will be readjusted, and the concept of superpower will be changed. It
outlines the Chinese strategies on how to be a good world leader. Finally, it stresses the importance of
both stability and change in the development by pointing out that the stability is not everything but
change is needed for development.
