Features: The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is a strategic goal for China in the 21st century, as well as an unprecedented and profound shift in the global power landscape. Some scholars have called it "another 'discovery of the New World' since the age of exploration." While this may sound exaggerated, it captures a degree of truth. China has a 5,000-year-old civilization, with a population of over 20% of the world's total and a land area of 9.6 million square kilometers. The rise of such a major country adhering to the socialist development path is without precedent in world history. Whether its great rejuvenation can be achieved, and the path it will take, will have a significant impact on the future of the entire world and humanity. This has become a focal point of attention for leaders and corporate giants across the globe, a subject of study and research for strategists and intellectual elites in various countries, and an unavoidable major phenomenon in the context of globalization and multipolarity. This book includes different assessments of China's rise in the international community, its relationship with the long-term nature of the primary stage of socialism, its alignment with the characteristics of the era, constraints from domestic and international environments, and the choices for its future.
