ABSTRACT
A steadily growing economy in the world's most populous nation has drawn attention to China in regard to the role that it will be able to play in international affairs. Since the 1990s, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Western powers headed by the United States have adjusted their strategies in managing their relationships with China. While it seems to be plausible for them to encourage the creation of a Western-style democratic China, the size of this nation, with its potential influence on the global economy and world affairs, has been viewed as a threat to the existing world order by some who have dominated it. Concerns of this kind can be seen in the writings of Brzezinski (1997) and Huntington (1996). A new Cold War has been launched by the Western powers against China. The old stories of the Tibet Question have been rewritten to create a scene.
