Looking ahead—China in 2020
Inside the Issue
China in 2020
Considering the changes that are sweeping though China, what will China look like in 2020? How are these changes affecting the people of China?
China in Transition
Based on papers presented at the China 2020: Future Scenarios conference, the author identifies four scenarios and some key signposts that may indicate the direction China is heading in the future.
China’s Changing Population
In any attempt to analyze China's future, the country's demographics are part of the picture.
Greater China’s Great Transformation
What is ahead for China in the coming years? What can we glean from China's past that helps us understand what may be ahead for China and for the church in China?
The Coming Third Anti-Christian Movement?
China has always been an anomaly. She is open to the gospel, she is resistant to the gospel. She is hungry for things modern and Western, she is stubbornly proud of things traditional and Chinese. How do we make sense of all this? More importantly, how do we gauge the mindset of China's intellectuals and leaders? How do they view Christianity as a religion, as a Western cultural construct, as a world and life view?
