ABSTRACT
This conclusion covers some closing thoughts of key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explains that the China model contributes to broad theoretical questions about international relations and state development and modernization. China's development model, the focus of the book, shows that people need to follow the money, the profit driver underlying much of its contemporary interaction with the world. From a global political economy perspective, Western backlash against China's expansion has strengthened out of concern that China may now be trying to change the rules of the game. International relations (IR) scholars have been debating China's rise for years. In a sharp exchange between two leading IR theorists explicitly over China, John Mearsheimer argues that China will try to push the United States out of Asia the way the United States pushed the European great powers out of the Western Hemisphere and that the United States and other Asian countries, alarmed by China's rise.
