Publisher's Summary
Beijing presents a clear and gathering threat to Washington, but not for the reasons you think. China's challenge to the West stems from its transformative brand of capitalism and an entirely different conception of the international community. Taking us on a whirlwind tour of China in the world, from dictators in Africa to oligarchs in Southeast Asia to South American strongmen, Halper demonstrates that Chinas illiberal vision is rapidly replacing that of the so-called Washington Consensus.
Instead of promoting democracy through economic aid, as does the West, China offers no-strings-attached gifts and loans, a policy designed to build a new Beijing Consensus. The autonomy China offers, together with the appeal of its illiberal capitalism, have become the dual engines for the diffusion of power away from the West. The Beijing Consensus is the one book to read to understand this new Great Game in all its complexity.

A great entrance into the China paradox
A great beginner's title for those interested in China's approach to international relations today, especially given the opaque and often paradoxical nature of this fascinating and challenging state.
