RISE OF CHINA: 2030 And Its Strategic Implications

Almost all the economic studies have predicted that China will attain the Super power status somewhere between 2016 and 2040 thereby dislodging the United States from its `Numero Uno` position. However, in the international politics, a country requires both economic and military muscle to become a global power – that too supported by technological prowess, political stability and social cohesion at home. In China, usage of phrase `rise`or `jueqi` is virtually a  taboo and erstwhile stance of `peaceful rise` has been replaced by `peaceful development`. China aims to become by 2050: a prosperous, democratic and civilized socialist country, a global scientific power and possess a Blue Water Navy – minimum essential to dominate the oceans.

Rise of China: 2030 and Its Strategic Implications presents absolute as well as relative analysis of China`s `Comprehensive National Power`. The book covers China`s role in Global power dynamics – competition or cooperation with major powers and its neighbours and its power status by 2030 AD. Strategic implications of China`s Rise dictate the courses of action to be adopted by the United States whom it intends to displace and its immediate neighbour India.
