Yet while China soars, many in the West harbor a growing suspicion of its intentions. What does China's economic muscle portend for the rest of the world? Will a strong China be peaceful or aggressive?  A China Primer for Students answers these questions and provides students with a greater understanding of this populous nation. It also helps students discern where China fits in the global framework and how it influences the international community.
