China's Position in the World
Global Hour is a weekly program of informal discussion that covers a wide range of topics. It is committed to facilitating the exchange of views and perspectives within a relaxed setting, while engaging important issues that highlight global and human conditions.
This week in Global Hour we will take a look at our thoughts on China and what we think the future holds for that nation.
Some Points and Questions to Ponder:
1. China has recently announced a 19% increase in military spending for this year. Like most nations this figure is likely short of the real figure. Just who would attack them?
2. China has extended her economic and political influence abroad. Do you know where? Is an expanded military influence next?
3. About half of Chinese speak the national language. Should they force a move toward one language?
4. The recent market downturn. Does it show a fundamental weakness? Does China operate fairly in world trade?
5. Who do you consider China’s allies?
6. What will become of Taiwan?
7. China recently announced an increased space program.
