The problem with the rise of China is that with it increases their influence and with this the developed western countries(and others as well)are left behind. Now as we all know that the record of China w.r.t. treating people humanely is very poor. The world follows the example of the leader, and as China takes over the mantle of the sole superpower in the coming decade or so, these other countries might be influenced to follow the lead of China. As such the I fear a chain reaction leading to subordination of the individual to the state will become commonplace and 'acceptable' and lead to the formation of a draconian society world wide. For India specially as China becomes powerful, its 'friend' Pakistan might be helped to stand on it's feet again - which is a cause of concern to India. History has proved that Pakistan is obsessed with enimity against India and the more strength they or their friends gain make them more capable to do so unhindered. All this paints a very gloomy picture for the world over the next two decades or so.

Why Rise Of China Is A Cause For Global Worries
I am one of those people wary of China's unrelenting march towards unopposed power. I won't say that I was among the first to notice and recognize the magnanimity of the occuring, but I did when I did. China has been under the global glare for decades regarding it's pathetic disregard to basic human rights and the subordination of personal freedom over what has been allegedly claimed as national interest. Earlier this was not a cause for concern or alarm at least since it did not affect anyone outside of China. Now it has changed, China is not going to remain isolated anymore. It has gathered a large amount of wealth over the years through efficiency in production and somewhat through misuse of it's people. However they might have reached the current state, fact is that they are now the biggest financial power and soon will be the greatest military power if not already so. And with this they are now spending it to build for them the best infrastructure possible. China is not lacking in any kind of resources - labor, minerals or skilled workforce. As such there is hardly any way of anyone overtaking them, India may have been smug about being the IT hub for the past 15 years but they never translated that opportunity to getting something big. India to this day remains an inferior state to Europe/American countries in terms of power, wealth and quality of life. China on the other hand is making some cities that good enough to shame the biggest cities across the developed world. This whole thing is fine.
