From a passive participant of the global economy, China changed into the global economic player. Nowadays, the PRC has become an equal partner for the politically and economically weakened United States. The article examines economic and political significance of the Chinese Belt and Road initiative for current world order. The main research problem is expressed in the following question: will the People’s Republic of China, thanks to its Belt and Road initiative, become a hegemon capable of playing the lead-ing role in the world? Those rapid changes are presented from the realism theory perspective
