China is very impressive, lifting so many out of poverty is incredible, and the construction on the "belt and road" very impressive. While other countries sanction and break ties with other countries China makes ties and better trading connections. Many could learn from China's example!

A book to read in this times to understand the silent and firm path of China to be a real superpower in 2049.

This is a meritocratic and cultural explanation of China's success and failures and overall growth since opening up 30 yeares ago.. I am only halfway through the book but I find in it a frank and open discussion of what China is doing right , "crossing the river on hidden stones" and stressing the cultural belief in harmony among other Chinese cultural philosophies. I recommend it to any who wish to explore the new China.

Interesting viewpoint of China. But there is an error. Lim Kit Siang is not a Thai opposition. He is Malaysian DAP leader.

I found it to be very informative and interesting.

Interesting perspective from within China but sometimes it seems like propaganda.

This book exhibits the party line of China with only vague references to current issues.For that purpose it is as interesting as the current Chinese News, but poorly documents major conflicts in the current state of China.

Professor Zhang Wei-Wei offers a robust and well argued critique of China development, and it's impact for the world stage, as well as providing decent reasoning and defense of the China model.Zhang Wei-Wei is perhaps the first academic I have read who finally offers a definition of the description of China as a civilizational state, by providing possible counterparts, were they to exist now.Basically, if the Roman Empire had survived, Europe would be a civilizational state. If the Islamic Caliphate had remained in power throughout the Middle East, that would also be a civilizational state. Therefore, China is the only contiguous civilization to reach the modern world under the modern definition of a state.Zhang Wei-Wei provides a decent defense of the PRC system that few others have provided, instead of focusing purely on economic growth as the CCP's mandate for power, he provides decent examples of how CCP rule is beneficial, such as the focus on the longterm outlook, rather than the short termism of most Western Politicians, and the meritocratic structure of the top brass.Whatever one may say about speculated horse trading on the selection of the Politburo Standing Comittee, we at least have a situation where the 2 top men are PhD educated, and have held a variety of administrative and executive positions throughout China.What did Barack Obama have? 4 years in the US Senate, 2 of which was effectively running an election campaign.A real treat in this book is the debate with Dr Fukuyama, although this reader at least cannot discern a winner in that debate.Many of my friends complain to me of criticism of China, but the best weapon against criticism is a good argument itself, and Zhang Wei-Wei's book is one of the best arguments one can find.

Easy to understand, written in clear language and free from difficult words.

To understand China one should know its long history, its development, its changes and progress to the present day. The West keeps proclaiming that democracy is the answer but its racial and financial problems have not be solved.Professor Zhang will enable the reader to have a broader view and deeper knowledge of China.

Exellent book. It makes a good assessment of the chinese state and its organs. It makes a good read

A good read for anybody who wants to understand China. Makes an honest assessment of the present state of China.
