Details: China’s Strategic Behaviour takes us on an enticing and a grand journey. It traces China’s past and present and translates - Chinese thoughts, choice and behaviour. The book attempts to unlock the overwhelming complexity and energy of a country which has been misunderstood owing to the cloak with which it has kept itself chaste. As China continues its inexorable rise and regains its position of strength as a result of its incredible economic growth, it feels justified in asserting its ‘rightful place’ in the new world order. It is only after the humiliation of being colonised by the Western powers that China realised the extent of its frailty and fragility. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) came into being in a fragmented country and therefore, had a monumental task of blowing life into it.

The twenty – first century belongs to the country which has size, sway and stockpile and China more than qualifies when it comes to the aforementioned parameters. China has emerged as a major influencer in the post-modern times and it is enthralling to see the manner in which it has accomplished the same. This book, is, a humble attempt to decipher China’s strategies in order to provide insight into the various routes which China might tread in the future to claim its rightful position.
