The World According to China

The Diplomat published on 3 October 2018 an analysis titled "The World According to China" by Bradley A. Thayer, University of Texas at San Antonio, and John M. Friend, University of Hawaii.

The authors conclude that China is offering authoritarian values that are appealing to governments whose hold on power is threatened by U.S. principles such as the rule of law, free speech, democracy, and transparency and accountability in government. By 2049, the 100th anniversary of the People's Republic of China, they predict Beijing will expect other countries to accept the new Chinese concept of global order.
