What's your understanding of the "China Dream"?

The great China dream is the nation's quest to flourish in the 21st century. I had written a nice blog about the topic. My China dream is to contribute to establish "Brand India" in China in the IT industry. Indian IT industry has established to be a global leader. However, we have not established a large presence in China. My dream is to contribute to building Infosys in China and be relevant for clients.
