They used to criticize Africans and Asians for their living standards and cultures because of the lack of industries, scientific knowledge, poor economy, and rational approaches. After post colonialism, China became the main critic of Eurocentrism with its great economies, industries, culture, scientific approaches and with a respective position in the world. The People's Republic of China has become one of the most important players in the emerging global economy with USD $14 trillion GDP and security architecture. China's powerful step to taking on more involvement in developing, as well as its strong bilateral economic relationships, is frequently enhancing its global contributions. The most obvious example is in the field of development finance. It has started the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) for “scaling up financing for sustainable development” and to improve the global economic governance basically for the developing countries. Till 2012, China has provided economic assistance to almost 121 countries. Apart from the economic capacity, Chinese culture has also an influence on the whole world, it ranked 8thin the world and almost 16% of the world population speaks the Chinese language and it has the 1strank in the world's most spoken language. With the “The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)”, China projected its economic clout to Europe and the rest of the world and overtake Eurocentrism. Through its investment's footprint in Europe, China is going to establish a new “Sino-Centric” world. Top Keywords Sino-Centric, Eurocentrism, Chinese footprint, World-order. Top |
