Reviews

A masterful and richly textured portrait of China's position in the world. At a time when the world's two largest economies seem set on an inevitable and mutually harmful collision course, this excellent book provides a much-needed dose of reason and rationality that will help us all better understand China's rise, its motivations, and why a strong and stable China might be in the world's best interest.--Eswar Prasad, professor at Cornell University, Senior Fellow at Brookings Institution, and author of The Future of Money David Daokui Li's volume gives the Western reader important insight into the Chinese world view. That world view is immensely important separate from whether it is valid or attractive. So Li's book is worthy of serious consideration by anyone who cares about the future of the world's system.--Lawrence H. Summers, 71st secretary of the Treasury of the United States and president emeritus of Harvard University Having warned repeatedly that the United States and China are in the early phase of Cold War II, I read David Daokui Li's new book with interest and admiration.... As a candid insider's introduction to the way the People's Republic sees itself and the world, Li's book is a valuable challenge to today's hawkish consensus.--Niall Ferguson, Milbank Family Senior Fellow, the Hoover Institution, Stanford University David Daokui Li is a world-leading scholar who deeply understands China and the West and who shares his understanding with great wisdom, wit, and clarity. China's World View should be read and discussed around the world. Its wise approach points the way to a more peaceful, prosperous, and harmonious world.--Jeffrey D. Sachs, professor at Columbia University and president of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network The biggest development of our time is the reemergence of China. Paradoxically, the biggest misunderstanding of our time, especially in the West, is about the reemergence of China. This huge misunderstanding must be dispelled. David Daokui Li's book, China's World View, could not be more timely.... It's a must-read for all the leaders of the world, both in the public and private sectors.--Kishore Mahbubani, Distinguished Fellow at the Asia Research Institute of NUS and author of Has China Won?: The Chinese Challenge to American Primacy In China's World View, David Daokui Li, one of China's most brilliant economists, delves deep into China's approach to governance, shedding light on its historical and sociocultural roots.... [T]his riveting account is an indispensable guide for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of China's trajectory in the global order.--Mark Leonard, cofounder and director of the European Council on Foreign Relations


"""China’s World View brilliantly accomplishes David Daokui Li’s announced goal: ‘to promote more cooperation and minimize conflict of any kind’ between China and the rest of the world. Professor Li is a world-leading scholar who deeply understands China and the West and who shares his understanding with great wisdom, wit, and clarity. China’s World View should be read and discussed around the world. Its wise approach points the way to a more peaceful, prosperous, and harmonious world."" -- Jeffrey D. Sachs, university professor at Columbia University and president of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network ""Strategic empathy is essential for strategic success. It does not mean agreement or sympathy or support, but it does mean understanding the perspective of the other. David Daokui Li’s volume gives the Western reader important insight into the Chinese world view. That world view is immensely important separate from whether it is valid or attractive. So Li’s book is worthy of serious consideration by anyone who cares about the future of the world’s system."" -- Larry Summers, 71st secretary of the Treasury of the United States and president emeritus of Harvard University ""Having warned repeatedly that the United States and China are in the early phase of Cold War II, I read David Daokui Li’s new book with interest and admiration. China has no better intellectual ambassador than this author. He sets out the case against a new cold war, arguing that China’s leaders are mainly focused on their domestic challenges and that the Chinese people represent an economic boon, not a strategic threat to humanity. As a candid insider’s introduction to the way the People’s Republic sees itself and the world, Li’s book is a valuable challenge to today’s hawkish consensus."" -- Niall Ferguson, Milbank Family Senior Fellow, the Hoover Institution, Stanford University ""In China’s World View, David Daokui Li, one of China’s most brilliant economists, delves deep into China’s approach to governance, shedding light on its historical and sociocultural roots.… [T]his riveting account is an indispensable guide for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of China’s trajectory in the global order."" -- Mark Leonard, cofounder and director of the European Council on Foreign Relations ""A masterful and richly textured portrait of China’s position in the world. At a time when the world’s two largest economies seem set on an inevitable and mutually harmful collision course, this excellent book provides a much-needed dose of reason and rationality that will help us all better understand China’s rise, its motivations, and why a strong China might be in the world’s best interest."" -- Eswar Prasad, professor of trade policy, Cornell University, and Senior Fellow at Brookings Institution ""The biggest development of our time is the reemergence of China. Paradoxically, the biggest misunderstanding of our time, especially in the West, is about the reemergence of China. This huge misunderstanding must be dispelled.
