About Book

China's Peaceful Rise in a Global Context: A Domestic Aspect of China's Road Map to Democratization" examines how China's domestic challenges, including corruption, social inequality, and authoritarian governance, intersect with its aspirations for peaceful integration into the global order. Author Jinghao Zhou argues for gradual democratization as essential for sustaining China's peaceful rise, focusing on civil liberties, media freedom, and social stability to mitigate potential global threats.China's potential threat to the existing global order is not derived from her rapid economic growth and military expansion, but from China's potential domestic chaos. The workable solution of China's democratization under the current Chinese political system is not to dissolve the Communist Party of China, but to begin with freedom of media, religion, and citizen participation.
