China was referred to as the "21st Century Sleeping Giant" because of its potential to be the leading country in Asia to tremendously propel itself to a robust economic growth. However, this term is not anymore true today as you can see that even here in the United states, almost all the things we buy are made in China and they have surely penetrated the world market with vast varieties of their products. They are one of the countries having nuclear capability and has reported budget surplus due to huge exportation. Now, economic analysts are saying that the SLEEPING GIANT HAS ALREADY AWAKEN.

There is a take-away in my local town called 'The Golden Lion', so I can only assume it's a sleeping Giant.

Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto is credited with saying, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." He was refering to the USA.
