"For many years after its reform and opening in 1978, China maintained an attitude of false modesty about its ambitions. That role, reports Howard French, has been set aside. China has asserted its place among the global heavyweights, revealing its plans for pan-Asian dominance by building its navy, increasing territorial claims to areas like the South China Sea, and diplomatically and economically bullying smaller players. We see how its actions affecting its nearest neighbors -- Japan and Vietnam, among others -- can tell us much of how it will deal with the rest of the world. Underlying this attitude is a strain of thinking that casts China's present-day moves in decidedly historical terms, as the path to restoring the dynastic glory of the past. If we understand how that historical identity relates to current actions, in ways ideological, philosophical, and even legal, we can anticipate jsut what kind of global power China stands to become--and to interact wisely with a future peer."--Jacket flap. 3483 Cultura estratégica China 154 Relaciones internacionales China 12696 Geopolítica Asia China Relaciones exteriores Cuba 12695 Asia Relaciones exteriores China 2521 lcc BK LYD 0 0 0 0 CS BJB BJB CS 2020-03-11 0 JZ 1734 F874e 2018 00000124163 2020-03-11 00:00:00 1 2020-03-11 BK
