There is a fundamental difference between how the West describes China's progress and how China describes themselves. The West tends to use the words ' Rise of China ' but China tends to use the words ' Revivial of China '. The former sounds threatening to some extent while the latter states that China is merely assuming its original pre-1820 position which is a major power long before any Western countries became a major power.

America need to review world history and see China becoming the leading nation in its place. Chinese leaders have to have passed rigorous decades of superior achievements in politics and governance, and by the way many were trained as engineers, not lawyers.

There is something fundamentally wrong with the west seeing Freedom as the no.1 value. If you study Maslow hierarchy of needs, you will realize that Freedom in western sense i.e democracy and freedom of speech falls under the need of esteem and esteem is less important than the basic physiological and safety needs. Its ludicrous for people to think that forcing democracy on a country where people are poor, uneducated and suffering to suddenly come together voting for a common cause, much less a progressive and prosperous future. More often than not, the freedom given without responsibility would be abused for personal gains. If you study history, you will realize that there has never been a single country that was democratic before it complete industrialization or became fully developed, not even the west. Its only when people have their physiological and safety needs secured, would they stop their barbaric ways, start to communicate, trade and foster relationships. As Lee Kuan Yew once said, democracy is the result of prosperity, not the cause of it. The Chinese will undoubtedly gain more freedom as they progress and grow more prosperous. Unfortunately, third world countries that adopted democracy continually bath themselves in chaos, where corrupted politicians manipulate the system to settle an annuity for themselves, causing the people and the country inability to progress.

It is not the military matters but the standard of livings for China has improved from 'a country mouse to a city mouse'. This standard can only be achieved by 'the overseas Chinese' remitting money back by working in a richer and more resourceful foreign country. After the two world wars, China is dirt poor 'as poor as a church mouse'. Now, you are better off forgetting your humble past of your miseries and starvations. Remember.. 'pride comes before a fall'. Are you going to make the same mistake with your upbringing hatreds?

China is rising because they are adopting many ways of the West, not all but ways that are tried and true. Some degree of free enterprise, some degree of property ownership, some degree of freedom that contribute to their economic well being. Does it really matter whether a nation is number one, two or three? What is an ideal nation anyway?

Kishore’s explanation very clearly acknowledges the momentum of Asia (especially China). Many other Asian countries may side with the western world because they earn USD in the form of salaries working in those countries.

So this guy as he is from the Middle East is translating his own personal experience into some general assumption. This is the total opposite of a book written following scientific database reference on historical facts and critics, his views are very empirics hence the book should be referred to be an opinion piece based on author's personal views.

USA have 20 Air-craft carriers , while China only have 2 Air-craft carriers (Both of them are Bought from Russia and they might even be buying more.) USA has built more than 70,000 Nuclear warheads , which is more than all the countries combined . They have conducted 1054 Nuclear tests since 1945 , China's nuclear technology derive from Russia , it has only conducted 45 tests. China's Top Anti-Missile System is still Russia's S-400 Surface Most importantly experience in fighting wars which USA has lots of it.
