'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 that the lion had awoken. From holding
its ground in trade wars with the US, to presenting itself as a world
leader in the fight against climate change, a newly confident China is
flexing its economic muscles for strategic ends. With the Belt and
Road initiative, billed as a new Silk Road for the 21st Century, China
is set to extend its influence throughout Eurasia and across the South
China Sea and the Indian Ocean. But with the Chinese and US militaries
also vying over the Pacific, does this newfound confidence put China
on a collision course with the US? Combining a geopolitical overview
with on-the-ground reportage from a dozen countries, this new edition
of China's Asian Dream engages with the most recent developments in
the ongoing story of China's ascendency, and offers new insights into
what the rise of China means not only for Asia, but for the world.
