To address this question, the book considers China's long tradition of statecraft. By doing this, it provides a unique and novel insight into the “why” behind China's actions and sparks a crucial dialogue on “how” to best navigate China's global rise.

It underscores the geographic and historical factors that constrain China's actions, forcing its leaders into trade-offs.
