Download or read book Beijing Welcomes You written by Tom Scocca and published by Penguin Group. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, Beijing was closed off to the world, turned inward and literally built around the imperial Forbidden City, the emblem of all that was unknowable about China. But now the capital is reinventing itself to reflect China’s global influence, progress, and prosperity. When Tom Scocca arrived—an American eager to see another culture—Beijing was looking toward welcoming the world to its Olympics, and preparations were in full swing to renew itself. Scocca discovered a city of contradictions—modern and ancient, friendly yet wary, bold and insecure. He talked to scientists tasked with changing the weather, and interviewed architects; checked out the campaign to stop public spitting; documented the planting of trees, the rerouting of traffic, the demolition of the old city, and the designs of a new metropolis, all the while finding the city more daunting, and more intimate. Beijing Welcomes You is a glimpse into the future and an encounter with an urban place we do not yet fully comprehend, and a superpower it is essential we get to know better.

Download or read book The Year China Changed written by Tom Scovel and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mighty China we know today was an impoverished and devastated nation when the Communists finally gained control back in 1949. Napoleon's sleeping giant has awakened with a vengeance! The Peoples Republic of China has emerged as an economic super power, the major player in global politics, and America's most dangerous competitor yet most valued partner. How did all of this transpire and how can we better understand this powerful nation and her extraordinary people? Born and raised in China, Tom Scovel was one of the first Americans to be invited back by the P.R.C. government and during his residence and travels in 1979, he was fortunate to witness firsthand the transformative policies that laid the foundations for the powerful nation we must reckon with today. He was also able to visit his childhood homes and the site of the internment camp where his family was incarcerated during World War II. Month after month during that momentous year, Scovel was able to observe the incremental changes in the economic, social, and political life of the average Chinese citizen that eventually led that nation from a weak and destitute country to today's contemporary power. He also documents a worldview that undergirds this amazing revolution and that still binds the modern Chinese people to their lengthy and rich historical heritage. The Year China Changed offers a unique perspective on China and her people from an "American Chinese" who was both a participant and an observer during a remarkable year of transformation.

Download or read book Foreign Babes in Beijing written by Rachel DeWoskin and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2005 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Determined to broaden her cultural horizons and live a “fiery” life, twenty-one-year-old Rachel DeWoskin hops on a plane to Beijing to work for an American PR firm based in the busy capital. Before she knows it, she is not just exploring Chinese culture but also creating it as the sexy, aggressive, fearless Jiexi, the starring femme fatale in a wildly successful Chinese soap opera. Experiencing the cultural clashes in real life while performing a fictional version onscreen, DeWoskin forms a group of friends with whom she witnesses the vast changes sweeping through China as the country pursues the new maxim, “to get rich is glorious.” In only a few years, China’s capital is transformed. With “considerable cultural and linguistic resources” (The New Yorker), DeWoskin captures Beijing at this pivotal juncture in her “intelligent, funny memoir” (People), and “readers will feel lucky to have sharp-eyed, yet sisterly, DeWoskin sitting in the driver’s seat”(Elle).

Download or read book India and China in Asia written by Jagannath Panda and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-08 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the structure of the India–China relationship and the two prominent powers’ positions with and against each other, bilaterally and globally, in a complex Asian environment and beyond. India and China’s perceptions of one another are evaluated to reveal how the order of Asia is influenced by engaging in different power equations that affect equilibrium and disequilibrium. Contributors address three critical perspectives of India and China in Asia which are increasingly shaping the future of Asia and impacting the Indo-Pacific power balance. First, they examine the mutual perceptions of India and China as an integral part of Asia’s evolving politics and the impact of this on the emerging Asian order and disorder. Second, they assess how classical and contemporary characteristics of the India–China boundary and beyond-border disputes or conflicts are shaping Asia’s political trajectory and leaving an impact on the Indo-Pacific region. Additionally, contributors observe the prevailing power equations in which India and China are currently engaged to reveal that they are not only geographically limited to the Asian region. Instead, having a strong global or intercontinental character attached to it, the India–China relationship involves extra-territorial powers and extra-territorial regions. This book will be of interest to academics, students and policymakers working on Asian studies, international relations, area studies, emerging powers studies, strategic studies, security studies and conflict studies.

Download or read book America As No 3 Get Real About China India And The Rest written by Hugh Peyman and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2023-07-24 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Clash of Civilisations is not inevitable, yet danger mounts the longer the West ignores its top forecaster. In 2023, the OECD sees China's economy as 27% bigger than the US: by mid-century 70%. India too will be larger, leaving America as No.3. Time to Get Real: listen to economists, especially development economists, and those in business who know China.Three giant shocks lurk right ahead for the West: economic, demographic and competence. 90% of the world's population will soon be non-Western: no more accepting exclusion from global decision making. After COVID, Afghanistan and domestic turmoil, many question Western competence to get things right, let alone avoid nuclear destruction.Economic size, not military might, is what counts among Great Powers. As leading military historian Paul Kennedy wrote, military strength is, 'inextricably intertwined with economic power and technological progress'. This need not threaten the West if understood and managed properly. Indeed, it would mitigate the real existential threats, from the environment to war. Otherwise nuclear conflict, Kissinger's 'Armageddon-like clash', is ever more likely.A New New World with growing muscle and some different ideas is emerging. How can the West best respond? The book proposes a Biden-Xi Grand Bargain, as Nixon struck with Mao. Grasp what Yin and Yang offer, as opposites can support each other for lasting mutual benefit.
