The Rise of China and International Security America and Asia Respond [Paperback]

'In his eloquent analysis of how Chinese themselves perceive their countrys much enhanced global profile, Jian Yang suggests that it behooves Beijing to address other countries concerns about its rise in a more sophisticated, rational manner. Clearly, the acceptance of Chinas rise by the international society is a core Chinese national interest, Yang argues. As the Chinese Communist Party makes preparations for an unprecedented grandiose military parade to mark  the 60th anniversary of the Peoples Republic on 1 October 2009, however, the question of whether Beijing will temper its hard-nosed power projection with sensitivity towards the feelings of friends and foes looms ever larger on the world stage.'
