"[A] provocative book." — Steve Tsang, Times Higher Education Supplement
"[Kang] provocatively contends that China's aspirational rise will make the East Asian region more stable." — Charles Burton, Globe & Mail
"A refreshing read . . . [that] should be required reading for everyone concerned about the rise of China or East Asian international relations." — Andrew Scobell, Political Science QuarterlyTexas A&M University
"Any serious student of Asia will find China Rising challenging, and will give that reader a good deal to consider--and perhaps rethink." — John Frankenstein, Far Eastern Economic Review
"Clearly written and cogently argued, this book is essential reading for all audiences." — CHOICE
"This is a very important book. It is essential and required reading for anyone interested in the impact China is having on international relations. Theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich, David C. Kang argues compellingly that a strong China is a stabilizing force in Asia. The book's important message deserves a full hearing precisely because its central argument undercuts much of the conventional wisdom in scholarly and policy circles." — Peter J. Katzenstein , Walter S. Carpenter Jr. Professor of International Studies, Cornell University
"David C. Kang makes the strongest case yet that East Asia's future will be like its past: Sino-centric, hierarchical, and reasonably stable. An original and provocative assessment that will stir debate among theorists and strategists alike." — Aaron L. Friedberg, professor of politics and international affairs, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University
