Singapore, Singapore) “Professor Wang Gungwu, a distinguished historian and sinologist, writes about how the China Dream relates to China’s reconnection and potential assimilation into a new world order. He brings to bear a unique combination of perspectives as both a cultural insider and a political outsider. He portrays present-day China as a centralised bureaucratic state not dissimilar from the emperor states of the old Chinese dynasties, but still in active search of a guiding ideology to replace the millennia-old Confucianism, an ideology that can be based on an integration of a new ‘socialist spiritual civilization’ and selected traditional Chinese values. This book makes a fascinating reading for anyone interested in how China may be made great once again, in the global context.” Lawrence J Lau Professor, The Chinese University of Hong Kong “In this remarkable book, Wang Gungwu illuminates the complicated processes by which China, in the course of becoming an influential actor in a new global order, has drawn on and adapted, rather than totally discarding, core aspects of the Chinese past.” Paul A Cohen Rights Information: Professor, Harvard University All language (except “In this slim volume, China Reconnects: Joining a Deep-Rooted Past to a New World Order, the Simplified Chinese) distinguished
