Publisher's Synopsis
Since the reform and opening-up, China's development has been evident to all. Its people have gained a sense of high achievement. These are all due to the advanced political system and the government's leadership. From a global perspective, the miracle of China's growth is not just about the scale and speed; more importantly, China has made a breakthrough in two paradoxes in the history of human development. Firstly, China did not follow the western imperialist example, focusing on its internal issues and keeping world peace. Secondly, China managed to avoid the predestined bottleneck of developing countries. Most developing countries are dependent on the Western-centric model of globalisation and could not achieve economic and political autonomy. In comparison, China maintained its independence, alleviated poverty and avoided the middle-income trap. The book analyses the advantage in economics and governance and traces the root of the Chinese way and philosophy through its culture and history.
