This book studies the rise of China as a major world power through selected quotations from the writings of Chinese authors published from 1994 to 1999. The author presents the argument that China has developed a remarkably detailed picture of the future security environment as against the great powers in the world. He also highlights veiled debates between reformers and orthodox authors on: the future world structure in 2010-2030; the rate of America’s decline; the future hierarchy of the major world powers in 2010; locations and causes of future wars; consequences of the revolution in military affairs (RMA); and prospects for Russia, India and Japan.
