A GROUNDBREAKING INVESTIGATION OF HOW CHINA'S RISE AS AN ECONOMIC SUPERPOWER WILL ALTER THE CULTURAL, POLITICAL AND ETHNIC BALANCE OF GLOBAL POWER IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY In this prodigiously researched and far-reaching book, Martin Jaques argues that we have only barely begin to understand what life will be like when China rules the world. For centuries now, we have lived in a Western made world where the very notion of being modern has been inextricably bound up with being Western. The twenty-first century will be profoundly different. According to conservative estimates, by 2027 China will overtake the United States as the world's largest economy, and by 2050 its economy will be twice as large as that of the United States. But, as Jacques reveals, Chinese influence will extend well beyond the economic sphere. The full social, cultural and politcal repercussions of China's ascendancy—for itself and the rest of the globe—have been surprisingly little explained or understood until now. By drawing extensively on Chinese history, JAcques reveals how the widespread belief that China is becoming more like the West is deeply mistaken—in fact, an increasingly powerful China will seek to shape the world in its own image. The Chinese have a long and rich history as a civilization-state, and 94 percent of the population still believes they are one race—Han Chinese. Under the tributary system, which endured for centuries, outlying states paid tribute to the Middle Kingdom. As China rapidly reassumes its traditional place at the center of East Asia, Jacques argues that the old tributary system will resurface in a modern form, contemporary ideas of racial hierarchy will be redrawn and China's age-old sense of superiority will reassert itself. In coming decades, the West will be confronted with the fact that its systems, institutions and values are no longer the only ones on offer. The role of economic and cultural relevance will in out lifetimes begin to pass from New York and London to cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. When China Rules the World is the first book to explain how China's meteoric rise will extend far beyond the economic realm, unseating the West and creating an entirely new global order.
