Readers of this book will be familiar with the broad and simple concept Napoleon articulated: China is a sleeping lion that, when awakened, will make the whole world tremble.What most readers don't know, however, is the directional prophecy of China's destiny detailed with astonishing accuracy by the thought system of the great Prophet Bahá'u'lláh. As early as a hundred years ago, Abdu'l-Baha wrote: China is the country of the future; in China, noble people can be educated and cultivated, and they will become bright beacons in the human world... More than 80 years ago, Bahá'í literature clearly stated that China's global leadership in the new world order of mankind "surpassed all countries in the world in terms of domestic wealth and potential material, cultural and spiritual power. any country".What is very modern and realistic is that these Bahá'í texts rely on the premise that China will effectively integrate with other countries and nations in order to achieve the goal of human beings' ultimate ability to establish a true world unity.

Therefore, whether China will surpass the United States, in which fields will it surpass the United States, when will its comprehensive power surpass the United States, and after surpassing the United States, where will China's leadership in the international community be reflected? China's responsibilities, contributions and missions to human society What is it... This is already a topic that has a very direct impact on the fate of the Chinese people, Chinese society, the Chinese government, and even people around the world. It is also a topic worthy of in-depth study and understanding by the Chinese government, and a healthy direction.

As a foreigner who studied Chinese language and Chinese culture in Boston thirty years ago, I was concerned about the fate of China and the smooth and steady process of China entering the international arena in the early days. I had a premonition and prediction more than twenty years ago There are many American media records) when the temporary peak of material civilization in the United States and the relatively backward state of China at that time are about to change, China will turn from inward to outward, from a passive status of a simple imitator and introducer to a world leader and Guide.

In fact, the dynamic of China surpassing the United States started at that time. In many specific fields, China has surpassed the United States for many years. For example, China became the world's first destination country for direct investment ten years ago. In this book, smart and bold young authors select and focus on China's journey beyond the United States from the important perspectives of wealth and economic parameters such as finance and currency, analyze relevant conditions and factors, and put forward far-sighted and creative suggestions. I hope that in the future, the author and other talented young Chinese friends will increase the scope of research and advocate China's status, identity and function as a leader in the world community from the perspective of comprehensively integrating various development indicators.

I just want to remind them that it is inevitable for China to overtake the United States. The important thing now is not just to show national pride, but how to ensure the responsibility of the world leader, that is, the "first contributor" required by the mature period of mankind. The concept that leaders are those who serve and serve is China's fulfillment of its sacred mission and the use of China's inherent health value system to "serve mankind".
