How to manage China’s rise as a civilisational power

The world has yet to truly understand how to deal with a rapidly rising China. Even within China, some of the most learned minds are surprised at how quickly the country has taken the global lead in new economic areas, such as electric vehicles. Global warming is no longer abstract; ask around in Europe this summer and people will tell you it has been unbearably hot. Electric vehicles have a future, if they are not the future. Prudent Chinese literati do not lightly discuss how China should act.
