Grand Strategy Part 3: China

Abstract

Asia is anticipating that the 21st century will be the "Asian Century", and prospects for contunuing economic growth are encouraging. However, In a larger context, the direction which China takes will be very important for the realization of this hope in Asia. The Grand Strategy of China is perhaps the most important such strategy of any country in the current context, & in the forrseeable future. This study analyses the Grand Strategy from first principles, and postulates that room for optimism is limited, and there is certainly no room for complacency. The leaders of Asia will be tested in the forseeable futrure.
