具体描述
This publication discusses the national image of China. The author argues that the misalignment between China's image of itself and how it is viewed by the rest of the world may be China's greatest strategic threat. The country's most important strategic issues, challenges as diverse as sustaining economic growth and the threat of Taiwanese independence, have at their root a shared connection to China's national image. The paper argues that alongside its other reforms, China needs a "fifth transition" if trust and understanding necessary for the next stage of its development are to be achieved.
