Overview

A new world is emerging. A world in which China wants to take on the role of superpower. It's full steam ahead for the innovation train that leading authority on China, Pascal Coppens, described in his previous book, China's New Normal. It now also seems that China wants to knock the mighty America off its throne on an economic, political, and military level. And this is creating an uncomfortable feeling in the West: fear. A fear that is being further fueled by the news we are hearing about China's role in the coronavirus pandemic. Is that fear justified? What does the start of the Asian century mean for our future? And is the curtain falling on the West's role as a protagonist on the global stage? In the search for answers to these questions, people often take a very firm position in either the positive or negative camp. But if we want to take advantage of the opportunities that China's transition also offers us and our economy, then a nuanced view is absolutely essential. In this book, Pascal Coppens brings clarity to the debate in an extremely fascinating way and offers the reader a well-founded and nuanced answer to that one crucial question: can we trust China?

"""Pascal Coppens forces you to look at China from a different perspective and deal with prejudices that not only exist in our part of the world, but also in China itself. This gives a new and surprising angle to the old question of whether we can trust China."" Rob de Wijk, author of De nieuwe wereldorde (The New World Order) and De slag om Europa (The Battle for Europe) ""This book is about China, but also about so much more. A wonderful and captivating journey through the concepts and structures of trust. With all its facets, systems, and interdependencies linked to culture and history. The only way to understand China and the Chinese is to understand and feel those nuances of trust. Pascal has written the ideal guide for that.""
