Posted: May 30th, 2018

Despite indications that China’s economy is likely to experience a moderate slowdown, the world’s second largest economy – and largest market by headcount – continues to expand the depth of its interactions with the world.

China’s approach to foreign policy, military might, and international security are evolving as well.
