Review: When China Rules the World: The End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order

When China Rules the World: The End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order by Martin Jacques
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This is very dry, and textbook like and necessarily dated, published as it was in late 2009. Still, it is informative, even enlightening, and much wider in scope than the forecasting title suggests. There is much history here and much about east Asian in general outside of China. Broadly this goes back to 19th Century history to plot the decline of China when confronted with the West, the rise of Japan as an ersatz Western nation through the same interaction through a final act of China coming up to eclipse Japan and perhaps the West.
