The UN must recognize that China has emerged as a major power in the world. Thus, the UN must understand the role China will have in the world if it emerges as a superpower. Specifically, China’s approaches to security, communist ideologies, currency, weapons, and influences on the world economy should be major concerns to the UN. The most critical matter for China today is human rights and political instability. The government does not tolerate any form of opposition, and it considers such attempts as interference with internal affairs and dissidence. China views the world with suspicion. On the other hand, the world has divided opinions about China. Sanaa Arora notes that superpower traditionally reflects “military, economic, political and cultural strengths and dominance” (Arora 1). The economic reforms of the 1970s in China resulted in a prosperous nation. China’s Gross Domestic Product has grown steadily. China has enhanced its trading abilities with the West and Africa. Moreover, the country has accumulated large foreign currency reserves in the world and has embarked on foreign investments. The economic performance of China has been superb. China can maintain such high rates of growth because of a large population, which provides cheap labor and a ready market. It also has vast resources. China has strived to overtake the US as the world’s largest economy, but not just yet. Analysts put it so close (Arora 1). China started to upgrade its military in the 1980s. Today, it has increased the pace of its military upgrade (International Institute for Strategic Studies 152-5). Although China faces no major threat in the region, China has continued to prepare its military in readiness for potential wars. Past experiences like Tiananmen Square Massacre affected China’s relationship with the West. The country also analyzed the impacts of the Gulf War and its position. Consequently, China had to formulate a new defense approach for engaging in current combats, which could involve technology. From past wars, China has turned to build electronic warfare, unethical cyber theft practices, and the development of advanced weapons. It has also embarked on modernizing its air force and naval capabilities with rapid response approaches. Moreover, China has enhanced its military logistical supports. The country’s upgrade of its military drew different reactions from the world. Others claim that modernization was inevitable because China had old equipment. On the other hand, other critics have raised concerns about China’s assertive approaches to territorial disputes and military modernization. The country has also turned to nuclear programs. Such missiles can even reach North America. Also, China wants to control space and cyberspace. These strategies show the country’s desire to dominate the world. The UN must worry about China as a superpower. It has a growing economic strength alongside a large-scale upgrade of the military. Thus, the UN must understand how China will use its power if it becomes a superpower. So far, China has used its new power to assert itself aggressively in the territorial disputes with Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, and other neighbors. Such aggressive tendencies have created tension in the region and f
