China Rising: The Return of the Dragon
10/14/2013
Timothy Beardson is the author of "Stumbling Giant: The Threats to China's Future"
Hello, and welcome back to As It Is from VOA Learning English.
I’m Jerilyn Watson.
Today on the program, we talk about China and two new books about it. One writer describes it as rising. The other says it faces serious difficulties.
Timothy Beardson is the author of “Stumbling Giant: The Threats to China’s Future.” He says China may have only 20 years to deal with some serious issues that could hurt its economy. We will hear from him in the program.
But first, we talk with Denny Roy who has written a book called “Return of the Dragon.” He says China plans to build a strong military, protect its economic interests, and rise to what it believes is its right place in the world.
VOA’s Jim Stevenson spoke with both authors. Today Bob Doughty joins us to tell us about those talks.
Return of the Dragon: China Rising
Jim Stevenson recently spoke with Denny Roy of the East West Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. Mr. Roy is an expert on Asia Pacific security issues, especially those involving China. His latest book, “Return of the Dragon: Rising China and Regional Security,” was published in July.
In the book, Mr. Roy says China sees its current rise in power and influence as natural. He says China believes it is a return to the position it always should have had in world issues.
