"China", Napoleon once remarked, "is a sleeping lion. Let her sleep,
for when she wakes she will shake the world." In 2014, President Xi
Jinping triumphantly declared the lion had awakened. Under his
leadership, China is pursuing a dream to restore its historical
position as the dominant power in Asia. From the Mekong River Basin to
the Central Asian steppe, China is flexing its economic muscles for
strategic ends. By setting up new regional financial institutions,
Beijing is challenging the post-World War II order established under
the watchful eye of Washington. And by funding and building roads,
railways, ports and power lines-a New Silk Road across Eurasia and
through the South China Sea and Indian Ocean-China aims to draw its
neighbours ever tighter into its embrace. Combining a geopolitical
overview with on-the-ground reportage from a dozen countries, China's
Asian Dream offers a fresh perspective on the rise of China' and asks:
what does it means for the future of Asia?
