Abstract :
This paper clarifies the intention of the People’s Republic of China’s intention to become the world superpower in place of the United States. Since the end of the Cold War, the bipolar system has been replaced by the unipolar one whereby the United States shapes and controls the dynamics of international politics. Scholars like Christopher Layne argue that the unipolarity under the United States would not last long, because it would be transformed into the new bipolarity or even multipolarity by 2010. In contrast to Layne’s prediction, until 2015 the unipolar order continues to exist, and China is not yet a superpower replacing the United States. This is despite the fact that China has the potentials tosupplant the United States. The paper proposes two complementary factors, intention and capacity, to understand about the position of China over the United States. The point is that there is no evidence ndicating that the claim if China wishes to become the superpower. Admittedly, the Chinese leaders do not aim for reaching the superpower status as fast as Layne’s prediction. The target is defined in two stages; by 2049 and 2100.
