China's government has invested heavily in key sectors such as technology, manufacturing, and renewable energy. Through initiatives like "Made in China 2025" and "Belt and Road Initiative," the country has expanded its influence across the globe. Its manufacturing prowess and ability to offer cost-effective solutions have made China a preferred trade partner for various countries.

The Chinese government's long-term planning and execution have allowed it to create a robust economic model that is now challenging the dominance of Western powers. China's insatiable appetite for growth has propelled it to the forefront of global markets, resulting in increased geopolitical influence.

Technological Advancements

China understands that technological advancements are key to securing its position as a global leader. The government has made substantial investments in research and development, fostering innovation across various industries. This has led to breakthroughs in fields such as artificial intelligence, 5G technology, and space exploration.

China's push for technological dominance is not limited to domestic development. The country has been actively seeking collaborations with international tech giants, forging partnerships that leverage the strengths of both sides. By acquiring technological know-how and fostering innovation, China has positioned itself as a formidable competitor to established players in the tech industry.

The Belt and Road Initiative

At the heart of China's quest for global domination lies the ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This massive infrastructure project aims to connect China with Europe, Asia, and Africa through a network of roads, railways, ports, and other infrastructure projects. By investing in the development of partner countries, China seeks to expand its geopolitical influence.

The BRI not only provides crucial economic benefits to China, but it also allows the nation to assert its dominance in regions historically influenced by Western powers. Through strategic investments and infrastructure development, China can solidify its position as a global leader while reducing its dependency on imported resources.

Shaping the International Order

China's quest for domination is not merely confined to economic and technological fronts. It seeks to reshape the international order, challenging the existing power dynamics. The country has been actively engaging with international organizations, establishing new platforms for dialogue and cooperation.

China's increasing assertiveness on the global stage is evident through initiatives like the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). These platforms provide China with a greater say in shaping international norms and standards.

China's journey to becoming the best is an intricate web of economic, technological, and geopolitical strategies. Its remarkable transformation from a nation in turmoil to a global powerhouse is a testament to its unwavering determination and meticulous planning.

Through initiatives like industrialization, technological advancements, and the Belt and Road Initiative, China has charted a path toward global dominance. The world watches as China's quest unfolds, curious about the future implications of its rise to power.

With Beijing becoming the first city in history to host both a Summer and a Winter Olympics, the Chinese capital has truly arrived as an international sporting destination. But the glamor of those two Games in 2008 and 2022 hid a strategic powerplay by China to leverage the Olympics as a way to further its global ambitions.

Despite international calls for a boycott of the 2022 Olympics due to human rights violations, Beijing was determined to show that it could conquer COVID-19 and host another spectacular Olympics. But behind all the politics and the soft power, China’s sports industry has changed dramatically since those first Games in 2008:

• A drive to promote football with the ultimate goal of winning the World Cup has already gone through both boom and bust.
• International leagues such as the NBA, the WTA and the English Premier League now have to tread through a minefield of nationalistic fervor to engage in China.
• Sportswear companies like Li-Ning and Anta have ridden a wave of domestic support in an ongoing bid to topple Nike and Adidas in the world’s largest consumer market.
• Ski resorts and ice rinks have sprung up across the country as a surging winter sports market takes shape.
• The naturalization of athletes, such as Eileen Gu, unearths difficult questions about what it truly means to be Chinese.

Weaving together the parallel threads of sports, business and politics, Mark Dreyer—the China Sports Insider—who first moved to Beijing to cover the 2008 Olympics, takes us along the rollercoaster ride of China’s burgeoning sports industry with a series of tales from those inside the industry that collectively paint not just a picture of China’s quest for dominance in yet another sector, but also shed light on the global implications of a modernizing China.
