The timeline traces how the CCP has come to power and expanded its influence domestically, economically and in foreign relations. The years 2021 and 2049 are known as the two "centenaries" (两个一百年).

The blueprint for China’s path to becoming an industrial superpower has changed the way foreign companies, business associations, and governments view the country. They increasingly perceive the People’s Republic more as a systemic rival than a partner. A CLASH OF CYBER CIVILIZATIONS A clash of cyber civilizations. Censorship and surveillance versus a free and open internet: China's ideas of cyber sovereignty are incompatible with how liberal democracies define cyberspace. Despite these inevitable conflicts, the two models could coexist in relative peace as long as governments focus on the shared goal of cyberdefense.
