"A refreshing and thought provoking take on China's past."
- John Keay (Author of bestselling China: A History)
China's statecraft presents global implications. The Middle Kingdom strives for a future that actually emulates its past. But which past?
A China expert currently stationed in Beijing unlocks four keywords of Chinese history; Harmony, Evolution, Cycle, and Humiliation, showcasing what China was, is, and will be.
The book answers following questions:
- What are some prominent Chinese ancient strategies and tactics still practiced by China today?
- What are dynastic business models that frame China's modern economic statecraft?
- Who are the key figures in China's history that manifest in Chinese leaders like Mao and Xi?
- What are the central tenets of Chinese philosophies that command modern Chinese communism?
- How did India, Russia, and Japan shape China and what are the implications for the US?
- And much more...
Written in Beijing, China Worldcraft stands out from more traditional fare written in the US. Dispensing with the time-line approach, the book thematically captures the essence of China and its history. It is an excellent stand-alone China primer or can be read as a complementary material for those more knowledgeable in the field of Chinese history and international relations. China Worldcraft comes with more than thirty complementary photos taken in 2021-2022 and upgraded maps. Get it now.
