In 2014, President Xi Jinping declared the lion had awakened. Under his leadership, China is pursuing a dream to restore its historical position as the dominant power in Asia. From the Mekong River Basin to the Central Asian Steppe, China is flexing its economic muscles for strategic ends. By setting up new regional financial institutions, Beijing is challenging the post-World War II order established under the watchful eye of Washington. And by funding and building roads, railways, ports and power lines--a New Silk Road across Eurasia and through the South China Sea and Indian Ocean--China aims to draw its neighbours ever tighter into its embrace. Combining a geopoliticial overview with on-the-ground reportage from a dozen countries, China's Asian Dream offers a fresh perspective on the rise of China and what it means for the future of Asia"--Back cover. 517 3 $aEmpire building along the New Silk Road 606 $aRegionalism$zAsia 606 $aFinance$zChina 606 $aFinance$zAsia 606 $aInternational finance 606 $aReportage & collected journalism$2bicssc 607 $aChina$xForeign economic relations$zAsia 607 $aAsia$xForeign economic relations$zChina 607 $aAsia$xEconomic integration 607 $aChina$xEconomic conditions$y2000- 607 $aAsia$xEconomic conditions$y21st century 615 0$aRegionalism 615 0$aFinance 615 0$aFinance 615 0$aInternational finance. 615 7$aReportage & collected journalism 676 $a337.5105 700 $aMiller$b Tom$c(Journalist),$01109070 801 0$bYDX 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162799703321 996 $aChina's Asian dream$93007677 997 $aUNINA
