Abstract

China now is the world's largest population with a huge area and a thousand years of history. This big country has a fruitful culture and a high class of arts and literature is now developing very fast and become the world model of modernization development. China's rise could make some concern to western leaders for many reasons. As China is not a democratic country, the power is with the communist party. China is becoming a new superpower and replaces the United State soon economically, it challenges the western power that use to be the superpower. Chinese scholar tries to recover Chinese ancient philosophy to build new power. Empowering Chinese identity and nationalism among Chinese oversea may rebuild China's power over its own country, including Chinese oversea in Southeast Asia. The question is what China wants from the world and how China would reach that goal? What will China effect on Southeast Asian government, society, and economic?
