Assessing China’s Power

This volume, the work of 13 outstanding China specialists, goes a long way to filling the gap." - Richard Bush, Brookings Institution, USA "This edited volume on China's power contains contributions by some of the best China scholars in the world. One may not agree with all the views in it but, given the sophistication of the analyses, this book is a must read for those who wish to understand the future." - Jia Qingguo, Peking University, China
