What does China want? What is Xi Jinping's endgame? Elizabeth Economy, a highly-respected scholar, keynote speaker and best-selling author, has clear ideas. Her new book, The World According to China, lays out China's ambitions to become the world's pre-eminent superpower, replacing the United States. China is already hard at work to realize Xi's dream. The country projects influence globally through three kinds of power: Hard Power (military expansion in the South China Sea), Soft Power (cultural via a network of Confucian institutes) and Sharp Power (leveraging access to China's vast home market for goods and services to shape certain behavior of corporations and individuals alike). Listen to this episode and you cannot help but feel stunned by the scope of China's reach and the magnitude of its ambitions.
