Rise of China and the Capitalist World Order

Li Xing is Associate Professor and Senior Researcher at Aalborg University, Denmark

'This book is a wake-up call for the West. That China is big is no news, nor that its entry in the world center is irreversible. That the Capitalist World Order will never be the same with China combining capitalism and socialism, market and state, with a basic concern for lifting people out of misery - often left there by Western practices - is new. Read and be wiser.' Johan Galtung, dr hc mult, Founder TRANSCEND: A peace development environment network
