China and the Barbarians: Resisting the Western World Order by Henk Schulte Nord

Description: China and the Barbarians by Henk Schulte Nordholt Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "Since times immemorial China regarded its culture, philosophy and statecraft as superior to all other nations, hence the saying Hua Yi Zhi Bian ( ....)- China and the barbarians are different. In the so-called Age of Humiliation (1839-1949), Western and Japanese imperialists reduced the old empire to a semi-colony. China has now regained its economic and military strength, but what drives its domestic and foreign policy? President Xi Jinping has declared that Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is at hand, but China can better be described as a country in search of a new identity. The philosopher Tu Weiming sees China as a battlefield of Socialism, Liberalism and Confucianism. The outcome of this struggle will have profound repercussions. Continuation of the present policy will only lead to increased tensions with its neighbours, because the Communist Party claims that only she can restore Chinas rightful position under heaven. Beijings land reclamation in the South China Sea and the One Belt, One Road initiative are foremost driven by a yearning to restore the days of Chinas imperial grandeur. If China choses the third way of blending the Confucian meritocratic tradition with a western style representative government, a clash with its neighbours and the United States can be avoided. China and the barbarians offers a fascinating insight into the thinking of Chinas philosophers and powerbrokers of the past and present. Interviews with eight prominent Chinese intellectuals add an authentic ring to this book." Author Biography Hendrik Schulte Nordholt is a sinologist.
