This paper sets out to analyze, the past and present relations of the Republic China with the Western world. It focuses on the explosive growth of the Chinese economy and its impact on world economic powers especially EU and USA. The emergence of china as the global superpower is the serious challenge to the future position of USA and EU. In the past the huge market of the People's Republic of China was at the forefront focus of the Western world. The history of the Western world relations with China can be traced back to the first opium War, fought between Britain and China from 1839 to 1842. Britain tried to force China to allow free trade of mainly opium. The war ended with the signing of the Nankin Treaty, which granted anindemnity to Britain opening of five ports to British trade. The Second Opium War (1856-1860), began as the result of the violation the Nankin Treaty by Chinese authority. The French and British allies began military operation and forced Chinese to sign the peace treaty in 1858, which allowed among others, the opening of several new ports to Western trade and freedom of movement for Christian missionaries, but Chinese refused to ratify the treaty and the allies began hostilities and Chinese were forced to ratify the peace treaty of 1958. China was a closed economy for a long time. The open door policy reform contributed to the acceleration of its modernization and integration to the world economy. The process of economic reform in China began in 1979. This reform didn't include the political reform. The commercial relations of China, EU and USA have developed rapidly. China's unstoppable economic domination and the impact of continuous trade deficit of EU and USA has raised a great concern. This might lead to seek some form of coordination and common solution on both sides of the Atlantic concerning the imbalance of trade with china. The extraordinary economic success of China is also a central factor in its emergence as a regional and global power. The military modernization includes capabilities intended to disrupt satellite operations. China continues to maintain its high rate of investment in its science and technology industries, reforms of the armed forces which have got regional and global implications. This indicates that, China may play the role of the superpower in the near future.
