People in the West routinely ask: "What does China want?" The answer is quite simple: the superpower status it always had, but briefly lost.
The new book, Superpower Interrupted: The Chinese History of the World, written by Michael Schuman, is a global history as the Chinese would write it gives brilliant and unconventional insights for understanding China's role in the world, especially the drive to "Make China Great Again." It not only provides insights on how the Chinese view their own history and how its narrative is distinctly different from that of Western civilization but also sheds light on how this unique Chinese history of the world shapes China's economic policy, attitude toward the United States and the rest of the world, relations with its neighbours, positions on democracy and human rights, and notions of good government.
Join this important discussion with Mr Michael Schuman, Journalist and Author who has lived and worked in Asia since 1996, Author of Superpower Interrupted: The Chinese History of the World (PublicAffairs, 2020), Confucius and the World He Created (Basic Book, 2015) and The Miracle: The Epic Story of Asia’s Quest for Wealth (HarperBusiness, 2009) from 15:00 – 16:30 on 3rd July 2020 (GMT+8).
