Chinese Century
The Chinese Century (simplified Chinese:中国世纪; traditional Chinese:中國世紀;pinyin:Zhōngguó Shìjì) is a neologism suggesting the possibility that the 21st century will be dominated by the People's Republic of China, similarly to how "the American Century" refers to the 20th century and "Pax Britannica" ("British Peace") refers to the 19th. The phrase is used particularly in the assertion that the economy of China will overtake the economy of the United States as the largest national economy in the world, a position it held for a large part of the last two millennia according to the UN World Bank.
With the Chinese Century now nearing its third decade, Global 500 seems to show the balance of world economic power tipping in a decidedly eastward direction.
随着“中国世纪”向第三个十年逼近，世界500强榜单似乎表明，世界经济力量天平正明显向东方倾斜。
