Write about how you think relations are between China and other key countries. (100-200 words) (India, Japan, America, Taiwan)

The relations between China and other key countries and areas (Part 1)
When we look back 20 years in the history, we will remember the decades when the world was ruled, or we may say greatly affected by 2 super countries-the States and the USSR both in economics and politics. At that time China was a rising power but still young and immature, but showed huge potential. Now 20 years has passed and the USSR had gone with its influence, just left a Russia as a successor who has been in trouble of economics all the time, which also lead to weakness in military.
The world chose China as an rapidly growing market and a manufacture base, and welcome it joined the WTO. The development is like what they expected, except some potential problems. Now the rapid growth ends and the manufacture base is abandoned by more and more international companies due to increasing cost and political reasons which are out of control of the companies. Another great change will come someday. President Donald Trump will make the day of change come earlier than most people’s estimates. “We will see”.
