Almost all the economic studies have predicted that China will attain the Super power status somewhere between 2016 and 2040 thereby dislodging the United States from its `Numero Uno` position. However, in the international politics, a country requires both economic and military muscle to become a global power – that too supported by technological prowess, political stability and social cohesion at home. In China, usage of phrase `rise`or `jueqi` is virtually a taboo and erstwhile stance of `peaceful rise` has been replaced by `peaceful development`. China aims to become by 2050: a prosperous, democratic and civilized socialist country, a global scientific power and possess a Blue Water Navy – minimum essential to dominate the oceans.
Rise of China: 2030 and Its Strategic Implications presents absolute as well as relative analysis of China`s `Comprehensive National Power`. The book covers China`s role in Global power dynamics – competition or cooperation with major powers and its neighbours and its power status by 2030 AD. Strategic implications of China`s Rise dictate the courses of action to be adopted by the United States whom it intends to displace and its immediate neighbour India.
