China’s meteoric rise to become the new economic and geopolitical superpower of the 21st century has astonished and baffled Western observers. Despite its ever-growing importance on the world stage there is still so much we don’t know about this great nation. It is a topic that is still very much riddled with myths, half-truths and sensationalism.
In The Dragon Delusions, China-based journalist Josh Cooper draws upon a remarkable grasp of history, economics and global affairs to bring some much-needed clarity to the ongoing China debate. Written in a way that is highly engaging and rigorously analytical in equal measure, this refreshing new insight challenges some of the common misconceptions that have tarnished the Western world’s understanding of this new global superpower and brings us closer to understanding the profound implications of China’s long-awaited return to top dog status.
