Rise of China

Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 20:46 09 May 2016 Rise of China Despite the growing internal social unrest and disparity of economic development, the People’s Republic of China is the third largest world economy and the second largest defense spender. Showing no clear signs of slowing down, China’s rise is seen as both an opportunity and a challenge by the major world powers. This book examines every aspect of Beijing’s strategies, ranging from political, economic and social challenges, to the Taiwan and Hong Kong issues, to the implications of these strategies in terms of China’s place within the Asia-Pacific, and indeed within the world system. Written by a stellar line-up of international contributors the book will appeal to students and scholars of Chinese politics, foreign policy, political economy and social policy, and China-watchers alike. Hsin-Huang Michael Hsiao is the Executive Director of the Center for Asia- Pacific Area Studies (CAPAS) at Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan. Cheng-yi Lin is a research fellow at the Institute of European and American Studies at Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan.
