China’s resurgence as a global power causes as much skepticism as tranquility in several parts of the world, from the feasibility to challenge U. S. global hegemony by force, to precisely serving as an important counterweight to the West. Based on Hegemonic Stability Theory (HST), one of the indicators to identify hegemony is its ability to provide the so-called Global Public Goods (GPG). The issue that brings to life the present research is, essentially, to identify if the GPG’s supplying is hegemony characteristic. To do this, I take as a case of study the role that the People’s Republic of China played during 1997-1999 and 2008-2010 financial crisis, making a comparative analysis. The research tries to answer the following question: Does China has the hegemonic trait of supplying GPG? In the end it is showed some final considerations trying to check or distort the next hypothesis: in the 1997-1999 crisis, China did not have hegemonic features based on supplying a GPG, but in the 2008-2010 crisis, China do have.
