Chinese Geo-economics: Maneuvering For The Chinese Dream

This book details China's idiosyncrasies, examines the 'Chinese dream', and systematically analyses the stakes and consequences for China's neighbours and other main players on the global stage. China has come a long way since its opening in 1978, accomplishing impressive economic, financial, and even technological successes. Yet, after four decades of high demand, and indeed becoming the second best-performing economy in the world, the situation has changed. Why has China become less attractive? This book answers that question, showing how Chinese political leaders have shifted gears since China came back on the scene, and elaborating on how we've arrived at the current turning point.Geopolitics are complex, and the geo-economics of China even more so. Through this book, readers will gain a deeper understanding of how various economic, political and social factors have created the conditions surrounding China and the global economy today. It is a must read for anyone looking to gain a better understanding of the stakes and risks associated with activities in contemporary China.
