Summary/Abstract: The People's Republic of China entered the 21st century with the confidence of an economic superpower, but also with a sense of duty to regain its lost world glory after the so-called "century of national humiliation". Economic growth, which in the last 30 years averaged 10% per year, as well as successful balancing on the international political scene, enabled China to begin expansion into the markets of the United States of America, the European Union, and African countries. This expansion is not without obstacles, however. Namely, Chinese investments and companies in third markets face both political resistance and strong competition, especially in technologically demanding sectors. After 2008, when the financial crisis from the USA spread to Europe and when the Eurozone countries fell into debt problems, the attitude towards China and its economic power began to change.
