'The book is engaging, informative, and provocative and can
profitably be read by undergraduates and professors alike. You do
not have to agree with the dean of China studies to learn from
him.'China Review International The book shows how the Chinese are
now confident of their capacity to learn all they need from the
developed world and are keen to know which parts of the past they
would need to build a modern Chinese civilization. They are very
conscious of the challenges coming from the United States, and are
looking for ways and means to respond to a superpower that wants to
preserve its dominant position in the international status quo.The
book seeks to explain what China is doing and what its immediate
and long-term interests are. It is not to defend or judge China. It
does not employ theoretical frameworks that are not appropriate for
describing Chinese conditions. It calls for understanding why
history is particularly relevant to the Chinese state and most of
its people. That way, we also see how the present and hopes for the
future changes our perspectives of the past. Related Link(s)
