On 1 July, the Chinese Communist Party will celebrate 100 years since its creation. At that time, China was mired in what it calls the “century of humiliation”: the period when this ancient civilisation was in decline, abused and manipulated by imperial Russia and Japan. Now, as the world’s ascendant superpower, China is intent on revenge. In the aftermath of Covid-19 – the discovery of which it initially suppressed – China is forecast to overtake the US as the world’s largest economy by 2028, five years earlier than anticipated. This remarkable growth has had positive consequences, most notably the removal of around 850 million Chinese from extreme poverty.
