This book provides a good summary of information from sources otherwise hard to access—from Chinese government documents to African radio broadcasts—and paints a coherent bird’s-eye picture of China’s global presence.
The book represents an important turning point in understanding the purpose, scope, and implications of China’s rise in Asian and world affairs. It provides the first comprehensive treatment of this important topic since the later stages of the cold war. Its clearly presented and balanced review and assessment of recent Chinese actions in what used to be called the third world will inform readers of the reality of Chinese foreign policy without hyperbole and with a discerning eye regarding the intentions and implications.
