The book delves into the origins of Chinese civilization, its unique characteristics, and the way in which these have shaped the Chinese worldview. The author argues that China's recent assertiveness on the world stage is a direct result of its historical development and that the country is simply seeking to reclaim its rightful place as a global power.
