Chinese President Xi Jinping has identified China as a major power and emphasized China's status as a major power. This book explores the narratives and driving forces behind China's ambition to become a major power. Three narratives rooted in Sino-centralism are examined. One is China's demand for the reform of global governance to reflect the values and interests of China as a rising power. Another is China's Belt and Road Initiative to construct a nascent China-centered world order. The third is the China model and self-image promotion in developing countries.

There are many forces that have driven or constrained China's ambition to become a major power. This collection focuses on two sets of forces. One is China's domestic politics and economic incentives and disincentives. The other is China's geo-political and geo-economic interests. These forces have both motivated and constrained China's ambition to become a major power.

The chapters in this book were originally published in the Journal of Contemporary China.
