Superpower Interrupted: The Chinese History of the World
We in the West routinely ask: "What does China want?" The answer is quite simple: the superpower status it always had, but briefly lost. Superpower Interrupted: The Chinese History of the World provides brilliant and unconventional insights for understanding China's ever-evolving role in the world.
As the Chinese see it, for as far back as anyone can remember, China had the richest economy, the strongest military, and the most advanced philosophy, culture, and technology. The collision with the West knocked China's historical narrative off course for the first time, as its 5,000-year reign as an unrivaled superpower came to an ignominious end.
Ever since, the Chinese have licked their wounds and fixated on returning their country to its former greatness, restoring its place in the world as they had always known it. The question was never if they could reclaim their former dominant position in the world, but when.
Join us in conversation with the author of Superpower Interrupted: The Chinese History of the World, Michael Schuman, and New America Cybersecurity Policy Fellow Samm Sacks on July 22 at 12:00pm ET to discuss this colorful, informative story in which we can come to understand how the Chinese view their own history and how its narrative is distinctly different from that of Western civilization.
