 As China develops into a world power, it must also deal with the political and social growing pains of a developing middle class. It has long been assumed that with economic development, certain progressions occur including a politically active middle class and a strengthening of democratic values. Despite these trends throughout the world, China has developed within a strong cultural and political framework that has resulted, in some cases, in a deviation from this standard. I will present on the specific obstacles that China currently faces in becoming more democratic.

 With a population of roughly 1.3 billion people, more and more individuals and companies are looking to take advantage of the Chinese market. However, before diving in, companies should understand some of the hidden dangers of operating in China. Successful approaches and strategies used in the United States and elsewhere may not translate to the Chinese market. It is important for businesses to understand the risks that are associated with the Chinese market. At a minimum, companies must understand the risks associated with the contracting process and those risks relating to intellectual property.

-The East China and South China Sea dispute pit US allies against the People's Republic of China.  While the US has professed to ne neutral regarding the sovereignty disputes, the US has increasingly backed its allies in these confrontations with China.  This paper uses a game theory analysis of alliances to analyze the impact on US alliances and the influence these territorial disputes have upon US-China relations.  As these territorial disputes have escalated over the past year, the US finds itself in a difficult position.  It is a challenge for the US to support its allies and not alienate China at the same time.
