They are very conscious of the challenges coming from the United States, and are looking for ways and means to respond to a superpower that wants to preserve its dominant position in the international status quo. The book seeks to explain what China is doing and what its immediate and long-term interests are. It is not to defend or judge China. It does not employ theoretical frameworks that are not appropriate for describing Chinese conditions. It calls for understanding why history is particularly relevant to the Chinese state and most of its people. That way, we also see how the present and hopes for the future changes our perspectives of the past"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Globalization $z China. 651 0 $a China $x History. 651 0 $a China $x Economic conditions. 651 0 $a China $x Civilization $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213011639.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105025312.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=315E3E68E5A311E9B7B99A5997128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
