As China continues to grow and develop, many questions are posed to Americans about their future impact and effect on our country. This course tries to present a simplified introduction to China, past, present and possible future directions. This growing world power will be looked at in multiple ways to give participants a better understanding of some of the possible future impacts to the modern world.

Student questions and comments will shape the direction and content of the course. The course is designed as a two-semester course.
