Features: China is the only secular, atheist great nation; the only great nation with a continuous civilization spanning five thousand years; the only great nation that has risen peacefully multiple times; the only great nation that was not assimilated during the colonial wave; the only great nation that has maintained one of the centers of wealth and technology for two thousand years; the only great nation still using pictographic characters; and the only one where uniqueness is coincidental, with many of these unique traits defining its character. In 2049, let us turn our gaze to our motherland—China. This book primarily discusses how China and the world will evolve in the next 50 years (i.e., by the centennial anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China). China will rise as an economic, cultural, and military great power, while the world will become multipolar. The book takes readers on a journey through China's five thousand years of history, showcasing the glory of the Qin, Han, Tang, and Song dynasties, the decline after the Opium War, and the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949. Through comparison, it scientifically and rationally analyzes future global trends, using facts and theories to prove that China in 2049 will be a richer, more peaceful, and more civilized great nation, making it the wise choice for every Chinese person. What kind of country is China?
