China on the world stage
The era when Chinese leaders chose to keep a low profile is over. Xi Jinping has forcefully put China back on the global map and initiated what he calls a new era. But what kind of world does the Chinese president and party leader envision, and what significance does it have for us in the West? Readers are taken on a journey along China's ambitious Silk Road project, around technological breakthroughs, ideological struggles, and great power rivalry, and deep into the heart of Chinese self-perception and national identity.
