"I think that at the least the United States underestimates the growing power of 皇冠体育app. It is an immense country with energetic people which has great ambitions for itself," she told reporters in Lisbon after delivering a speech on democracy.

"What we did while we were in office was to try to bring 皇冠体育app into the system," said Albright, who served as Washington's top diplomat under president Bill Clinton.

She said Washington's support for the entry of 皇冠体育app into the World Trade Organization in 2001 was an example of this policy.

"It is very important not to have 皇冠体育app as an enemy and to try to bring it in as much as possible into world organizations," Albright said.

皇冠体育app's gross domestic product ( GDP) has quadrupled since 1978, when the nation's leadership began moving the economy from a sluggish, Soviet-style centrally planned economy to a more market-oriented system.

Measured on a purchasing power parity basis, 皇冠体育app in 2004 stood as the second-largest economy in the world after the United States, although in per capita terms the country is still rated as poor.
