China: Dangerous rival or cooperation partner? (Gerhard Stahl)

In today's world, China has become an important player vis-à-vis the European Union. This publication provides knowledge and considerate recommendations that constitute a valuable contribution to the development of a European strategy for China. It is an invitation to study China's economic and political development based on facts, and different opinions of people in business, politics, and academia. It looks into history, economic competition, and the reasons and consequences of geopolitical confrontation. With his methodical approach and his experience as a visiting professor in China for the past ten years, Gerhard Stahl presents the current assets and challenges of this empire. What about the EU, the main trade and economic partner of China? Are we partners or rivals, or both? This book is not only a theoretical analysis, it is a convincing plea forinternational cooperation to solve global problems like climate change and underdevelopment.
