In the past thirty years, China has transformed from an impoverished country where peasants comprised the largest portion of the populace to an economic power with an expanding middle class and more megacities than anywhere else on earth. This remarkable transformation has required, and will continue to demand, massive quantities of resources. Like every other major power in modern history, China is looking outward to find them.
In By All Means Necessary, Elizabeth C. Economy and Michael Levi explore the unrivaled expansion of the Chinese economy and the global effects of its meteoric growth. China is now engaged in a far-flung quest, hunting around the world for fuel, ores, water, and land for farming, and deploying whatever it needs in the economic, political, and military spheres to secure the resources it requires. Chinese traders and investors buy commodities, with consequences for economies, people, and the environment around the world. Meanwhile the Chinese military aspires to secure sea lanes, and Chinese diplomats struggle to protect the country's interests abroad. And just as surely as China's pursuit of natural resources is changing the world--restructuring markets, pushing up commodity prices, transforming resource-rich economies through investment and trade--it is also changing China itself. As Chinese corporations increasingly venture abroad, they must navigate various political regimes, participate in international markets, and adopt foreign standards and practices, which can lead to wide-reaching social and political ramifications at home.
Clear, authoritative, and provocative, By All Means Necessary is a sweeping account of where China's pursuit of raw materials may take the country in the coming years and what the consequences will be--not just for China, but for the whole world.

A little bit concerned about how much they know about China, especially in the aspects of energy security and foreign investment. They know China too well. Nothing can hide. Good job, my favorite person in Foreign Affairs, Ms. Elizabeth Economy.

这本书真正令我震撼的,是它对“模糊地带”的深刻探讨。它拒绝提供简单的“好人”与“坏人”的二元对立标签,而是将笔触聚焦于那些灰色、矛盾和难以界定的道德灰色地带。书中每一个主要人物,当我以为我理解了他的动机和立场时,下一章就会展现出他截然不同的、甚至相互冲突的一面。这种对人性多面性的毫不留情的揭示,迫使我不断反思自己以往的判断标准。它不是在宣扬某种特定的哲学观点,而是在搭建一个思想的试验场,让读者自己去面对那些没有标准答案的困境。读完最后一个字,我并没有感到故事的终结,反而有一种“未完待续”的余韵,因为书中抛出的核心问题,已经深深地烙印在了我的日常思考之中。它成功地将书本中的虚构世界,与我所生活的现实世界搭建了一座看不见的桥梁,让我开始以一种全新的、更加审慎和包容的眼光去观察身边的人与事。这是一种罕见的、具有持久影响力的阅读体验。
评分这本书的开篇,叙事节奏的处理简直是教科书级别的范例,它没有急于抛出宏大的主题或复杂的情节,而是选择了一种近乎冥想式的缓慢切入。作者似乎深谙“慢工出细活”的道理,用一系列看似日常却又暗流涌动的场景,为读者构建了一个极具代入感的微观世界。我特别欣赏作者在描写人物心理活动时所展现出的那种细腻入微的洞察力,那些细微的犹豫、瞬间的顿悟,都被捕捉得精准无比,仿佛作者本身就是这些角色内心最隐秘的观察者。文字的流动性强到让人几乎忘记了自己正在阅读,思绪完全被裹挟着向前推进,但又不是那种令人疲惫的急速追赶,而是一种恰到 দূরত্ব的、充满韵律感的滑行。这种叙事上的克制与精准,使得每一个词汇的选择都显得掷地有声,没有丝毫的赘述或空泛的华丽辞藻堆砌。读到某一处,我甚至停下来,反复咀嚼了一段对话,那其中的言外之意和潜台词,比直接的表述要丰富得多,显示出作者深厚的文学功底和对人性复杂性的深刻理解。这种沉浸式的体验,让我感觉自己不是在阅读故事,而是在亲身体验一种真实的人生片段。
评分这本书的封面设计简直是一次视觉的爆炸,大胆的色彩搭配和充满张力的排版,瞬间就抓住了我的眼球。我喜欢它那种毫不妥协的现代感,仿佛在预示着内容绝非等闲之辈。内页的装帧质量也令人赞叹,纸张的触感温润而厚实,光线柔和地洒在书页上时,那种阅读的仪式感油然而生。翻开扉页,设计师巧妙地运用了一种复古的衬线字体,与现代感的封面形成了有趣的对话,让人不禁期待作者如何在古典的叙事结构中注入前卫的思想。装帧的细节处理,比如书脊的布艺纹理和烫金工艺,都透露出出版方对这本书的重视,这不是一本快餐读物,而是一件值得珍藏的作品。我花了相当长的时间仅仅是把玩这本书的物理形态,这种对物件本身的尊重,在如今这个数字阅读盛行的时代,显得尤为可贵。它在书架上占据的位置,本身就是一种宣言,表明了它在我的阅读地图上的重要性。这种精良的制作水准,无疑为阅读体验打下了坚实的基础,让我对即将展开的文字之旅充满了美好的憧憬和高度的期待。我感觉这不仅仅是一本书,更像是一件精心雕琢的艺术品,光是触摸它,就仿佛能感受到其中蕴含的某种重量和能量。
评分这本书的语言风格,可以说是充满了一种令人不安的疏离感与强烈的节奏感交织的独特美学。它不像某些文学作品那样追求优美的古典腔调,而是采用了一种非常现代、甚至有些冷峻的笔触,每一个句子都像经过精确计算的几何图形,棱角分明,直指核心。这种语言的疏离感,反而逼迫读者必须更加主动地去填补情感的空白,去感受文字背后的温度。你不会被直接喂食情绪,而是需要自己去提炼和感受,这是一种更具挑战性也更具回报的阅读方式。在某些段落,作者会突然爆发出一连串密集的、排比式的短句,这种节奏的变化就像是音乐中的突然加速,将紧张感推向顶点,让人几乎喘不过气来,心跳随之加快。紧接着,又会跌入一段冗长而详尽的内心独白,仿佛是高潮过后的深沉叹息。这种声调的巨大反差,使得整本书的阅读体验充满了戏剧张力,如同观看一场精心编排的现代舞剧,肢体动作的爆发力与停顿的沉思感完美结合。
评分如果用一个词来形容这本书的内在结构,我会选择“精巧的迷宫”。故事的主线似乎清晰可见,但在你以为即将触及真相时,作者总能巧妙地引入一个全新的视角、一段看似不相关的插叙,或者一个意想不到的时间跳跃。这种叙事策略极大地考验了读者的专注力,但也带来了无与伦比的智力上的满足感。我发现自己不得不时不时地停下来,在脑海中重构事件的时间线索和人物关系网,就像在进行一场高强度的脑力激荡。这种结构上的复杂性并非故作高深,而是服务于主题的需要——它深刻地反映了现实世界的复杂性和我们自身认知的局限性。每一次迷失方向后重新找到路径,都会带来一种“原来如此”的豁然开朗,这种阅读的成就感是其他平铺直叙的作品难以给予的。特别是作者在关键转折点设置的那些“红鲱鱼”(误导线索),设计得极其高明,它们既真实可信,又在最终被证明是通往更深层含义的必经之路,让人不得不佩服作者布局的长远和缜密。
评分没时间看最后一章就行了...
