What if China dramatically reinvents global relations. Imagine the near future when the East assumes the reins of power in world politics, as well as global leadership in economic matters! On May 1, 2040 the headquarters of the United Nations moves from New York to Shanghai. The novel centers around Wei Shu, the woman President of the People`s Republic of China. She has piloted this project and choreographed every detail of this momentous event. In her diary, Wei Shu writes: `This day belongs to me as now I belong to China and China belongs to the world.`` Who is this woman who has successfully ascended to absolute leadership both in China and the world... Jean-Louis Roy`s novel unravels Wei Shu`s origins, the legacy of her mother and grandmother, her career as a student and her ascent to power in China. He explores the relentless development of China over the past fifty years, its emergence as a global power in parallel with the dazzling trajectory of the rise to preeminence of this exceptional woman, Wei Shu."-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Translation of: Shanghai 2040. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Roy, Jean-Louis, 1941- $s Shanghai 2040.
