• W1506415525 abstract "When China Rules World: The End of Western World and Birth of a New Global by Martin Jacques The Penguin Press, 2009 ISBN 1594201854, 978-1594201851 Hardcover, 576 pagesWhen China Rules World: The End of Western World and Birth of a New Global Order is provocative title of Martin Jacques' assessment of China's future role as dominant global power. For more than a decade Jacques was editor of Marxism Today - having first transformed it from an obscure ideological organ of Marxist Left into a broad platform for wide ranging political and social debate. Not long after collapse of Soviet Union Marxism Today was also wound up and Jacques went on to become deputy editor of The Independent, an engaging newspaper columnist and author.Having heard him speak recently about his book on China my main reservation is that he is still overly influenced by his political antecedents, and perhaps too willing to overlook nature of Chinese political system as he rightly dwells on China's extraordinary growth, economic capacity, and cultural richness.The title of book is itself a giveaway.Mercifully, no nation has ever ruled world and however much national fortunes may change no free people would accept idea of one nation determining our destiny. It's neither desirable nor historically probable.In 1963 great Welsh tenor, Sir Harry Secombe, recorded a song entitled If I ruled world. It contained memorable lines that if he ever found himself in that position every man would be as free as a bird and every voice would be a voice to be heard. Would this be China's song for its own citizens or rest of us?Jacques tends to dismiss concerns for human rights as West patronizing China and he believes that because Communist State has created economic growth (a Pew Poll indicated that over 91% of its people are satisfied with its economic performance) this confers legitimacy on Government. He argues that there is no widespread desire for democracy or for enlightenment values of West.His central point is that, unlike Western powers, China is not a nation state but a civilization state ; that China is far more diverse than we imagine, and more flexible. He cites example of Hong Kong and creation of two systems in one country as an example of both its diversity and its flexibility.What is incontestably true is that at a moment when our western economies are in crisis and stagnating, Chins continues to accelerate.In 1992 just 3.5% of America's imports came from China; today it is 14.5%; in Brazil it was 0.9%, today it is 14%; and in UK, from virtually nothing in 1990, China provides 6% of our imports today. One fifth of Australia's imports come from China, while its two-way trade with its near neighbors - Taiwan, Singapore, and even Japan -soars. Over next five years we will see Chinese currency, Renminbi (RNB) - the people's currency - increasingly challenge mighty U.S. dollar.Globalization will no longer be shaped by United States but by China - although Jacques takes far too little account of America's military might or China's disastrous demographic trends, or flight of capital from China's new rich. The inhumane one child policy (previously a flagship of country's Communist ideology) has left it with an aging population which will have to be supported by a significantly reduced young workforce (the back bone of its current economic growth).Perhaps expressed less provocatively and less provocatively than in title of Jacques' book, it could certainly be said that twenty-first century is China's century; just as twentieth century was America's century and nineteenth century was Britain's. …" @default.
