Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

After the end of the cold war, the most important phenomenon in the world is the rise of China and China's development into a world economic power. It is impossible for the world today to ignore China's economic influence, or to imagine China's economic growth and development without the outside capital, resources, technology and markets.

After completing the course, students should:
1. have a basic historical understanding of China becoming a new economic power in the world during the last three decades.
2. be able to identify and describe the role of the Chinese economy in the world as well as the impact of the world economy on China.
3. be familiar with the related documents and literature as well as with the basic methods of research on this subject.
