The China Dream: Great Power Thinking and Strategic Posture in the Post-American Era

China Dream: Great Power Thinking and Strategic Power Posture in the Post-American Era examines the inherent conflict in U.S. China relations and the coming "duel of the century" for economic, military, and cultural dominance in the world. Written by a veteran Chinese military specialist, and scholar, it defines a national "grand goal" to restore China to its historical glory, and take the Unites States' place as world leader.

First published in Beijing in 2010, The China Dream provoked international debate with its controversial vision of a world led by China. Now available in English, this is the definitive book for understanding the “hawk” version of China’s national destiny debate and is essential for understanding China’s strategic goals in the 21st century.
