“This book presents a timely and much-needed analysis of the spatial implications of China's rise. Collectively, the authors explore the effects of China's rise in a number of different geographies, highlighting the need for nuance in respect of the global transformation taking place between China and the United States.” Catherine Jones, University of St Andrews
