30.07.2024 The Idea of China

China is widely recognized for exporting its products, but in the coming years, it may become even better known for exporting Chinese ideas. Under Xi Jinping, Chinese academics are developing distinctively "Chinese" approaches to contemporary global issues, challenging the US-led global order and proposing strategies for China to navigate a period of prolonged global instability.

In "The Idea of China," authors Alicja Bachulska, Mark Leonard, and Janka Oertel from the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) delve into the intellectual contributions shaping China today. Drawing on over 100 interviews with Chinese thinkers, the book explores debates on AI, the green transition, the international financial system, demography, feminism, and China's global image.

This book offers insights for readers interested in understanding China's evolving role in the world, whether to acknowledge the change, compete, or address where Chinese ideas may infringe on rights and freedoms.
