The new Chinese empire : and what it means for the world

A new society and economy has blossomed in post-Mao China, but an old state holds it back. This book addresses the question central to China today: Is the Peoples Republic of China, whose politics is a hybrid of Chinese imperial tradition and Western Marxism, willing to become a modern nation or does it insist on remaining an empire?
