Features: China can be called a model or example of the economic development of the entire century. China has become accustomed to maneuvering within the international system, accepting most international conventions, norms, and standards, and learning to use them to achieve its national interests. The lives of China's elite class seem no different from the wealthy in other countries; they work in front of computer screens, carry many bank cards in their wallets, and travel by economy class. However, the details are completely different—the computer brand may be unknown outside of China, the banks are all domestic, and the airlines are also domestic. China is developing rapidly, but she insists on her own characteristics.
