The following essay will identify the key challenges to China's continued rise and weigh
their seriousness in terms of possible negative impacts to the future development of the country. It
will follow the argument that the challenges to China's continued rise are very serious and that the
impressive growth of the last decades is not sustainable and led to social injustice within the
Chinese society (YanglHeng 2012: 3).
In a first step, the author will define what he understands by "China's rise". The essay will
continue with a short overview of the challenges in order to underline the dimension and
complexity of the obstacles the Chinese government has to face. After that overview, the essay will
go into more detail and identify the economical, social and political key challenges which may
impede a further successful development. Finally, the essay will summarise its findings and provide
an outlook for the years to come.
