China's Next Act: How Sustainability and Technology are Reshaping China's Rise a

Description: China's Next Act by Scott M. Moore Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description From solar panels to synthetic biology, an accessible-yet-authoritative overview of how climate change, the global Covid-19 pandemic, and emerging technologies are changing Chinas relationship with the world, and what it means for governments, companies, and organizations across the globe.Ever since China began its ascendancy to great-power status in the 1980s, observers have focused on its growing economic, military, and diplomatic power. But in recent years, Chinese officials, businesses, and institutions have increased their visibility and influence on every major global issue, from climate change and artificial intelligence to biotechnology and the global Covid-19 pandemic. How have these newer issues changed Chinas relationship with the world? And, importantly, how can we prepare for a future increasingly shaped by China?In Chinas Next Act, Scott M. Moore re-envisions Chinas role in the world, with a focus on sustainability and technology. Moore argues that these increasingly pressing, shared global challenges are reshaping Chinas economy and foreign policy, and consequently, cannot be tackled without China. Yet sustainability and technology present opportunities for intensified economic, geopolitical, and ideological competition--a reality that Beijing recognizes. The US and other countries must do the same if they are to meet ecological and technological challenges in the decades ahead. In some areas, like clean technology development, competition can be good for the planet. But in others, it could be catastrophic--only cooperation can lower the risks of artificial intelligence and other disruptive new technologies.In this clearly written and accessible overview, Moore examines how countries like the US must balance cooperation and competition with China in response to shared challenges. With an emphasis on opportunities as well as threats, Moore addresses not only key developments in sustainability and technology within China, but also their implications for foreign countries, companies, and other organizations. Chinas influence on sustainability and technology is both global and granular--and twenty-first century China itself looks more like a network than a nation-state. Featuring original interviews and an in-depth look at Chinese government policy, Chinas Next Act provides a unique--and uniquely balanced--window into these new dimensions of Chinas global ascension.
