Abstract
The last decades, China has become a great power, rising from an agricultural civilization to the world's second-largest economy and an important player in international affairs. This study aims to understand the factors driving China's rise and challenges to the existing global order based on a comprehensive analysis of economic data, policy initiatives, and strategies. China is driving global trade dynamics as the world’s leading producer and exporter, with its workforce economy, and strategic trade policies. In addition, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) extends its economic influence across continents, promoting infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity with partner countries. China faces challenging geographical conditions, characterized by the presence of numerous unfriendly and distrustful nations surrounding its borders. On the other hand, China's growth poses some challenges. In conclusion, understanding the mechanisms of China's rise is critical for policymakers and practitioners attempting to manage the complications of the changing international landscape.

Abstract
Son on yılda Çin, tarım medeniyetinden dünyanın ikinci büyük ekonomisine ve uluslararası ilişkilerde önemli bir oyuncuya yükselen büyük bir güç haline geldi. Bu çalışma, ekonomik verilerin, politika girişimlerinin ve stratejilerin kapsamlı bir analizine dayanarak Çin'in yükselişini yönlendiren faktörleri ve mevcut küresel düzene yönelik zorlukları anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Çin, işgücü ekonomisi ve stratejik ticaret politikalarıyla dünyanın önde gelen üreticisi ve ihracatçısı olarak küresel ticaret dinamiklerine yön veriyor. Buna ek olarak Kuşak ve Yol Girişimi (BRI), ekonomik etkisini kıtalar arasında genişletiyor, altyapı gelişimini teşvik ediyor ve ortak ülkelerle bağlantıyı güçlendiriyor. Çin, sınırlarını çevreleyen çok sayıda düşmanca ve güvensiz ulusun varlığıyla karakterize edilen zorlu coğrafi koşullarla karşı karşıyadır. Öte yandan Çin'in büyümesi bazı zorlukları da beraberinde getiriyor. Sonuç olarak, Çin'in yükseliş mekanizmalarını anlamak, değişen uluslararası manzaranın komplikasyonlarını yönetmeye çalışan politika yapıcılar ve uygulayıcılar için kritik öneme sahiptir.
