Description for China´s World: What Does China Want?
Hardcover. BIC Classification: 1FPC; GTB; HBJF; JP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 222 x 140 x 25. .
In the next decade China's actions on the world stage will affect us all. A new superpower, with the largest population and GDP on the globe, there are now fears that China is becoming more assertive. Here, award-winning China expert Kerry Brown guides us through China's foreign policy, from its skirmishes with US Navy destroyers in the South China Sea to its arguments with Japan over the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands and its increased displays of military prowess - including huge investments in cyber warfare. Brown also assesses China's extraordinary plan to create a `New Silk Road' across Central Asia - one of the biggest infrastructure project in modern history. In doing so he seeks to answer a simple question: what does China want? The answer lies in the unique way China thinks about the world. A comprehensive analysis by one of the world's most recognised and respected authorities, and based upon unparalleled research into Chinese leaders, their beliefs and their instincts, China's World is an essential read for the Western world.

Reviews for China´s World: What Does China Want?
As an overview into the binds and struggles of Chinese foreign policy, China's World is excellent. It is clear, well organized if perhaps slightly too schematic, detailed without being onerous, and sports an impressively broad understanding of a remarkably complex field.
(12/01/2017) .. .Rarely falling prey to jargon and written in a skilled and approachable style, the book succeeds in making a complex topic accessible to a broad audience. While never providing an overarching answer, Brown shows that the response to the question What does China want? may depend on who is asking.
