Soaring Dragon Vol 3 and China Dream (China at the Cutting Edge) Vol 4

Book excerpt: According to New China’s long-term development plan, the Chinese military will complete its modernization by 2035. Moreover, a beautiful China will fully blossom as well by 2035, in its various charming and radiant aspects, including its ancient culture with modern Chinese characteristics, its benign positive soft power, its clean and green ecology and environment, its friendly and peaceful global diplomacy, and its win-win and progress-prosper relationships with the world’s nations, through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to cooperate and co-develop for bilateral and international/regional benefits, and for the common good and the shared future of humanity. By 2049, New China will complete its ambitious, ardent and arduous century-long march of national development, modernization, and rejuvenation/renewal, and strongly establish its own world-class military forces. Following the previous two volumes: (1) China’s Renaissance on its phenomenal rise and transformation over the past 70 years (1949-2019), and (2) China’s Long March of Modernization with its remarkable and unique portfolio of blueprints,masterplans and roadmaps for full development, modernization, and rejuvenation by mid-21st century, this third volume incorporates (1) SOARING DRAGON which further explores China’s present and future developments, and (2) CHINA AT THE CUTTING-EDGE which provides a brief on China’s revolutionary breakthroughs and innovations in both the economic and military fields. And its message: New China is standing tall as a leading global innovator. This timely publication completes the New China development Quartet on the country’s envisioned and planned/scripted 100-year-long (1949-2049) struggles to comprehensively and fully develop, modernize, and rejuvenate/renew itself, and to build up a world-class military with distinctive Chinese characteristics. The contemporary Chinese Dream is China’s Vision 2050: of a boldly-reinvented, fully-restored and gloriously-transformed nationhood by 2050. According to its manifest destiny, New China will regain its historical foremost status among the world’s nations, by the highly auspicious time of the People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s centenary on 1 October 2049. As they say, history will repeat itself. And, it will do so, magnificently, in New China’s restoration to geopolitical preeminence.
