It traces structural changes across imperial legacies, economic development, and China’s distinctive political-cultural model, then connects these dynamics to issues of modernization, identity, and global influence. Through an extended progression of chapters, the book argues why China’s approach to governance, society, and external engagement differs, and what that means for the future international landscape.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/","Literature",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/when-china-rules-the-world-the-rise-of-the-middle-kingdom-and-the-end-of-the-western-world/516207/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/when-china-rules-the-world-the-rise-of-the-middle-kingdom-and-the-end-of-the-western-world/516207.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Nguyễn
