Chapter represents evolution and shift of world economic powers. From the beginning of our era until the Industrial Revolution, China, and India depended mainly on rice cultivation. Industrial revolutions changed that and led to rise and dominance of Anglo-Sachsen countries globally. Scientific discoveries in Western Europe led to the Industrial Revolution, dramatically changing industrial capacity. However, it must be admitted that the correct sentence is not that China has made inroads into economic leadership in the last 50 years but that China has regained the leadership it had held until the Industrial Revolution. This paraphrase will help the reader to understand the motivation and the worldview that underpins the People’s Republic of China.
