With the arrival of the 21st century and the intensification of the globalization process, the world is becoming a global market without classical barriers for free trade in goods and services. Globalization has enabled the accelerated development of the economy and the integration of developed and less developed economies. Globalization trends have affected the whole world and it is not possible to participate in them. Some countries have managed to use the potential, provided by globalization for economic growth and development. One of these countries is China, which has implemented economic reforms and by opening up its economy has become an economy with leading results in the last few decades. Today, China has established itself as a global economic superpower that influences the movement of global flows of goods and services. In a short period of time, it became the second largest economy in the world and the leading exporter in terms of the value of goods and services. This enormous growth of the Chinese economy and market has brought certain problems with it. Namely, as a trading partner of a large number of countries, they became too dependent on China's economic activity, so this problem manifested itself on a global level. A slowdown in China's economy in the context of slowing trade and cross-border investment may have a significant impact on global growth. The main goal of the thesis is focused on the analysis of the globalization process and China's position in the modern global economy. Through statistical analysis of economic indicators, the goal is to determine the size of China's economy within the framework of the global economy and to forecast future trends. Using specific examples, the goal is to determine the dependence of individual countries on China's economy.
