Zhou Bo

Should the World Fear China? (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

For Washington, China is a strategic competitor: the only country with both the will to reshape the world order and, increasingly, the means to do so. For Europe, the People's Republic is a 'partner for cooperation, an economic competitor and a systemic rival'. For NATO, it is a 'decisive enabler' of Russia's war against Ukraine. Yet Beijing's image is far more positive in the Global South, of which the PRC considers itself a part.

Zhou Bo's essays unpack China's own view of its role today. The PRC is operating not only in a world becoming less Western, butmore importantlya West becoming less Western; and the key to its outlook lies in Africa, the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific as much as in Europe and the White House.

Are Moscow and Beijing really so closely aligned? Where are Sino-Indian relations headed? Is China a new Cold War foe for the West? Or will economic ties inevitably bring the two powers closer together?

Rezensionen

'China is now shaking the world. What is sorely needed is cold-blooded analysis, which means understanding China's history and reality. As a retired Senior Colonel in the PLA, Zhou Bo writes as an insider with a deep understanding of the foreign mind, and offers a Chinese perspective shorn of propaganda. An important book for those who are seriously interested in China's rise and what it means for the world.'

George Yeo, Singaporean Minister for Foreign Affairs (2004-11)
