China's Grand Strategy

Leading scholars examine Chinas global strategic plans, from Hong Kong to military power, to economic dominance Over the past few decades, China has increasingly challenged the global influence of the United States. In Chinas Grand Strategy, David B. H. Denoon brings together a group of eminent scholars to explain Chinas rapid ascendance on the world stage, as well as its future implications for global politics. Contributors address the military, economic, diplomatic, and internal political factors shaping Chinas strategy, in addition to highlighting Beijings objectives in different parts of the world, such as Central Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Ultimately, they explore the promise and perils of Chinas rapidly changing political ambitions, showing how the country has made its mark on the twenty-first century. Chinas Grand Strategy provides insight into Chinas quest to become a global leader, particularly at a time when the future of both China and the US remain uncertain in the context of current crises like the coronavirus pandemic, the ongoing protests in Hong Kong, and escalating tension between top leaders and officials. This book cannot predict the future for China or the US, but the insights offered can help make sense of where we have been and where we are going.
