RUSI Journal Vol 159 No 5, October/November 2014, pp.42-50 (127) Summary: China's economic rise has prompted predictions that it will become a global power and supplant the US as the new global hegemon. However, in this article, the author argues that while China's influence and impact will certainly grow, it would have to overcome significant barriers to become a genuine global power. Among other constraints, China does not possess the soft-power attributes that would elicit a positive identification with it and lacks a clearly articulated foreign policy that would support a leading role on the international stage. The rising and uncontrolled nationalism is also becoming a serious constraint on the country's evolving international role.
