It delves into the intricate interplay between Chinese imperial history and the PRC's global outreach, examining the extent to which historical legacies shape China's foreign policy decisions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmpires, driven by the aspiration to bring about positive change, often employ eschatological rhetoric despite facing oppression. However, those that endure tend to adopt a more pragmatic approach to grand strategy, drawing inspiration from past golden ages or learning from the mistakes of predecessors. Chinese strategic thinkers, to date, are deeply interested in learning from the disintegration of the Soviet Union and gaining insights into the mysteries of American power. This interdisciplinary study analyzes grand strategy through both rhetoric and practice, shedding light on the Chinese worldview by critically examining the history textbooks currently used in PRC middle schools. Furthermore, it presents fresh evidence to contribute to the ongoing debate in the West about Chinese strategic culture. By comparing historical patterns of foreign direct investment (FDI) between Japan and China, the book seeks to understand the unique characteristics that make the Chinese economy stand out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChinas Grand Strategy Under Xi Jinping is designed to appeal to students and scholars of history, international business, and broader Chinese studies. It offers a comprehensive examination of the evolving grand strategy of the PRC, providing valuable insights into the complex interplay between historical legacies, global ambitions, and national interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367628468\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Niv Horesh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103955349754,"sku":"9780367628468","price":42.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_3d11741a-ef0f-498e-ae96-27bc5e2ab776.jpg?v=1655540245","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/chinas-grand-strategy-under-xi-jinping-how-history-complicates-beijings-global-outreach-9780367628468","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
