War Russlands Überfall auf die Ukraine nur der Anfang? Kommt bald der noch größere Krieg? Ein Krieg zwischen den beiden Supermächten unserer Zeit? Ein Krieg zwischen China und den USA? Ein Krieg, der sich an Taiwan entzündet? Wie können wir verhindern, dass die politischen Führungen dieser Welt als "Traumwandler" in den dritten Weltkrieg schlittern, und sich die düsteren Voraussagen zu selbsterfüllenden Prophezeiungen entwickeln?

China ist Boomland, längst einer der Motoren der Weltwirtschaft. Innenpolitisch blieb das Land dabei immer autoritär, außenpolitisch zurückhaltend. Doch unter Xi Jinping, dem mächtigsten Staats- und Parteichef seit Mao, erfindet sich der autoritäre Staat neu, in offener Konkurrenz zum Westen. China marschiert nun selbstbewusst in die Welt, gleichzeitig gewährt sich sein System ein Update mit den Instrumenten des 21. Jahrhunderts: Peking setzt auf Big Data und künstliche Intelligenz wie keine zweite Regierung.

Gefährlicher Drache statt gemütlicher Panda: Mit welchen Strategien China die Welt erobert. Chinas Aufstieg zur Weltmacht ist unaufhaltsam. Lange erwartete man, dass sich das Land mit zunehmendem Wohlstand demokratisieren würde. Doch das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Die Kommunistische Partei Chinas will sich mit allen Mitteln an der Macht halten. Dafür werden Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft im eigenen Land auf Linie gebracht und ein weitreichendes Programm wurde entwickelt, mit dem China die westlichen Demokratien unterwandert und eine neue Weltordnung etablieren will.

Tensions between the world's superpowers are mounting in Washington, D.C., and Beijing. But between these hubs of high-level politics, an entirely new reality is emerging. Yet the People's Republic of China and the state of California have built deep and interdependent socioeconomic exchanges that reverberate across the globe, and these interactions make California a microcosm of the most important international relationship of the 21st century. In The Transpacific Experiment, journalist Matt Sheehan chronicles the real people who are making these connections.

At the beginning of the 21st century, China is poised to become a major global power. And though much has been written of China's rise, a crucial aspect of this transformation has gone largely unnoticed: the way that China is using soft power to appeal to its neighbors and to distant countries alike.

Beijing presents a clear and gathering threat to Washington, but not for the reasons you think. China's challenge to the West stems from its transformative brand of capitalism and an entirely different conception of the international community.

Are China and the United States headed for war?

Wer den Einfluss verstehen will, den China auf die deutsche Wirtschaft ausübt, muss den Namen Gerhard Ludwig Flatow kennen. Er war wohlhabender Stahldirektor und Kommunist, Abenteurer und Lobbyist, sprach fließend chinesisch und wurde in den Fünfziger und Sechziger Jahren zum wichtigsten Agenten der Chinesen in Deutschland. Dabei hat er es verstanden, völlig unbekannt zu bleiben–bis der Wirtschaftspublizist und Chinakenner Bernd Ziesemer die Fäden zusammenführte und entdeckte, dass ein Maoist und ein Industrieller ein und dieselbe Person waren.

In the opening months of 1949, US President Harry S. Truman found himself faced with a looming diplomatic catastrophe - "perhaps the greatest that this country has ever suffered", as the journalist Walter Lippmann put it. Throughout the spring and summer, Mao Zedong's Communist armies fanned out across mainland China, annihilating the rival troops of America's onetime ally Chiang Kai-shek and taking control of Beijing, Shanghai, and other major cities.

The PRC is engaged in political warfare against most countries of the world. This is an aggressive brand of total war that integrates all aspects of PRC national power into its political warfare campaigns. Open societies normally lack government understanding and response to the political warfare threat, therefore typically establishing weak applicable laws and policies to combat it.

Mao Zedong es reconocido, junto con Chiang Kai-Shek y Sun Yat-Sen, como una de las figuras más influyentes de la historia China moderna. Su control político de la nación declinó durante sus últimos años, pero permaneció como el presidente del Partido Comunista de China desde su fundación en 1949 hasta el día en que murió (9 de septiembre de 1976). Como el padre fundador de la República Popular China y el eje central de uno de los cultos de personalidad más intensos del mundo, el alcance de su influencia no se puede subestimar.
