This book deals with China's global aspirations, which rise from its economic power, history, tradition, ideology, and culture. Confucianism guided the emperors in their mandate of heaven over two thousand years. Today government-driven Confucianism as a country's soft power is embedded to advance China's aspirations for global power. The methodology in this book is historical and cultural narrative to gain a more profound understanding of China--how China thinks and acts.
