Zukunft? China! by Frank Sieren

A concise, on-the-ground analysis of China’s rapid rise that explains how state-driven industry, large-scale infrastructure projects, and advances in digital technology and surveillance are reshaping global economics and geopolitics; it combines journalistic reporting with historical and economic context to outline opportunities for foreign business, risks posed by authoritarian governance and technological control, and argues that Europe and the West must adopt a more realistic, strategic approach toward engagement and competition.
