Professor Zhiqun Zhu deserves enormous credit for convening the
October 2009 conference at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania entitled
“The People’s Republic of China at 60: Internal and External Challenges,”
and thereafter integrating selected conference papers and several other
scholarly articles into this volume.
The chapters that follow “delve” into many of the key challenges that
will preoccupy China’s leaders for the first half of the 21st century —
DELVE standing for Demographics; Environment and resources;
Legitimacy and political institutions; Values in society; and the External
world. Indeed, so extensive and daunting is the agenda facing the People’s
Republic of China (PRC) that one wonders how its leaders have the
courage to get up in the morning. Using the leadership typology developed
by James David Barber decades ago in his classic entitled The Presidential
Character, China will need a long line of “active-positive” leaders in its
future to address the agenda this volume describes and analyzes. This book describes not only the agenda facing Chinese leaders, it also offers insight into the research concerns of China scholars around the world.
The sheer diversity, scale, and complexity of the PRC’s challenges
should be a sober reminder to those who project in straight-line fashion
China’s success in the last two decades of the 20th century and the first
decade of the 21st into the indefinite future. This volume is an admonition
to those who suggest China is destined to “rule the world.”2 Rather, this
compendium suggests a more measured conclusion, namely that China
likely will continue to make progress, that its growing strength will have
many implications for the world, but that for decades into the future
leaders in Beijing will be concerned with challenges at home and seek to
minimize draining entanglements abroad — success at home is not
assured. China will become more involved in, and important to, global
decisions with each passing day, but ever present in the front of Chinese
minds will be the staggering and persistent problems they confront
domestically. The reticence this creates in China’s leaders (and in its
citizenry) in assuming major external commitments was starkly indicated
at the December 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in
Copenhagen.
