This series of books covers the topic: Understanding China.
But whyis Understanding China an important question?
At present, the world around us is going through unpfecedented changes and nowhere more so is that the case than in China.
Since the founding of the Peoples Republic of China in the mid-20th century, and particularly over the past 40 years, a poor and backward country in East Asia with a population of over 1.3 billion has achieved incredible growth to become the worlds second largest economy.
It is therefore natural that people should ask: What exactly is going on in China, and what is the secret behind such rapid development?
It is also entirely natural for people to wonder: How can a rising Ctuna get along with the rest of the world?
As a result, misgivings about the country abound. All kinds of theo-ries such as the China threat, the Collapsing of China, the Thucy-didess Trap and the maddle income trap have been directed toward China.
There is no doubt that China should unflinchingly follow its owri path and deal with its own matters well. That in itself means that in or-der to respond to peoples concerns, questions and misgivings, one thing must be done - Understand China. It was pfeasely for this reason that the China Institute for Inno-vation & Development Strategy (CIIDS), which I co-founded, joined together with the Chinese Peoples Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA)and the world-renowned 21st Century Council think tank to hold two Understanding China conferences in 2013 and 2015.
These two important internaUonal meetings received the close at-tention and support of the General Secretary of the CPC and President of China, Xijinping, who personally attended and held informal discus-sions with disunguushed overseas partiapants; and Premier of the State Council Li Keqiang and Vice Premier Zhang GaoLi, who gave the open-ing speeches at the first and second conferences respectively Top leaders of departments in the Central Committee of the CPC and State Council also partiapated alongside senior political figures, experts and scholars from all over the world to undertake face-to-face meetings and answet questions.
The main lesson from the conferences was that confronting ques-tions head-on, being sincere, seeking the truth from facts, and telling the stories of China, the CPC and Chinas relations with the world, in lively and detailed ways, greatly helps those who care about China to gain new knowledge, and gradually allays the misgivings of those who are uncer-tain about China.
