This text is an accessible and up-to-date resource for anyone looking to understand the internal drivers behind China's global economic and political decisions. Whether you are studying international relations or monitoring global political economy, this volume offers a clear perspective on how domestic elements influence the way China interacts with the rest of the world. It serves as a necessary tool for grasping the complexities of China's evolving role on the world stage.
