China has become one of the most powerful countries in the world. Few would dispute that the 21st century is a great era for China. In the past 30 years, China has undergone enormous changes in socio-economic, political and cultural areas and, with rapid globalization underway, China was introduced to the international environment. Globalization, the integration of cultures and beliefs through the opening of trade, communications, and migration, is a buzzword in American society. Some people say that it is just like a hurricane, sweeping our life away. Big changes have happened to China through globalization, but as I see it, the biggest story about the rise of China is that of the emerging of New Political Culture. It is believed that this is a critical factor in China's success. Today, people with better education and the younger generations show more NPC characteristics which will broaden citizen's participation.
