| - The People's Republic of China (PRC) is often sensationalized an emerging superpower due to the west's ambitions of conquering the world through an image of a perceived enemy and competitor. Although, its large and stable population, its rapidly growing economy and military spending and capabilities have been cited as reasons . However, when you take away the demagogy, it becomes clear that China's power is actually reducing rather than increasing. For those who paid attention to China's recent history, we saw a China that had a loud and distinct voice and was engaged in widespread propaganda campaigns world wide. China was also involved in backing guerrillas armies throughout the world, as part of its Global People's War. In fact, in 1967, many openly professed that China would eventually become the leader of the third world. However, China gave up its role as a leader in 1971, after the death of Lin Biao. Today, no one in any world, third world or otherwise openly has hopes of China being an international leader. Not only does no one want China to be a leader, China itself has on numerous occasions refused to become an international leader. Today, China has no voice. Its news is virtually indistinguishable from Reuters. Absent from Chinese media is its criticism of the west, something that was quite common in Chinese newspapers circa 1967. On the other hand, the western media never gave up its disinformation campaign against China, and countries seeking independence. Despite western media hype, it is not as influential on the international stage as the United States or the Soviet Union.
