On October 1, 1949, Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedongdeclared the creation of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The announcement ended the costly full-scale civil war between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Nationalist Party, or Kuomintang (KMT), which broke out immediately following World War II and had been preceded by on and off conflict between the two sides since the 1920’s. The creation of the PRC also completed the long process of governmental upheaval in China begun by the Chinese Revolution of 1911. The “fall” of mainland China to communism in 1949 led the United States to suspend diplomatic ties with the PRC for decades. The Chinese Communist Party was founded in 1920 as embryonic proletarian political organizations were just coming into existence. Leading figures of the May 4 movement made up the leadership, but few workers were present at the first conference in 1921. One of the main questions before it was its relationship to the GMD. The Chinese nation is known throughout the world not only for its industriousness and stamina, but also for its ardent love of freedom and its rich revolutionary traditions. The history of the Han people, for instance, demonstrates that the Chinese never submit to tyrannical rule but invariably use revolutionary means to overthrow or change it. In the thousands of years of Han history, there have been hundreds of peasant uprisings, great and small, against the dark rule of the landlords and the nobility. And most dynastic changes came about as a result of such peasant uprisings. All the nationalities of China have resisted foreign oppression and have invariably resorted to rebellion to shake it off. They favour a union on the basis of equality but are against the oppression of one nationality by another. During the thousands of years of recorded history, the Chinese nation has given birth to many national heroes and revolutionary leaders. Thus the Chinese nation has a glorious revolutionary tradition and a splendid historical heritage. China is a communist country either means you are out-of-date, misinformed, or trying to maintain justification for your right to govern China by the continuation of a political and historical narrative. As the book addresses this crucial issue quite deftly, it is hoped that it would prove to be a source of great information for the reader. The book deeply highlights the diplomacy of China and its strategies.

China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a mega development project signed between China and Pakistan is considered to be a “game changer” on economic and geo-strategic grounds. On one side, the project would help China in achieving its foreign policy goals to expand from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea, it would ensure economic growth in Pakistan and subcontinent as a whole.  The China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)  is a development megaproject that aims to connect Gwadar Port in southwestern Pakistan to China’s northwestern autonomous region of Xinjiang, via a network of highways, railways and pipelines to transport oil and gas.  The economic corridor is considered central to China–Pakistan relations and will run about 3,000 km from Gwadar to Kashgar. Overall construction costs are estimated at $46 billion, with the entire project expected to be completed in several years.  The Corridor is an extension of China’s proposed 21st century Silk Road initiative. According to a Firstpost report, “this is the biggest overseas investment by China announced yet and the corridor is expected to be operational within three years and will be a strategic gamechanger in the region, which would go a long way in making Pakistan a richer and stronger entity than ever before.” Relations between Asian rivals India and China have come under considerable strain in the recent months as mutual misgivings are steadily mounting. A slew of issues has led to the current strain and is likely to continue, unless one or the other blinks. However, neither country appears to be in the mood to do so. China is watching with some concern India’s growing warmth with the US. Beijing believes that Washington is propping up New Delhi to balance China's increasing military might in the Asia-Pacific. India has also been vocal about the South China Sea. During President Barack Obama's visit, India and US had issued a separate joint statement on the South China Sea calling for all parties to respect international laws. This book contains the fundamental and basic information of the subject and useful for teachers, students and researchers.

India had the distinction of being the world’s largest economy in the beginning of the Christian era, as it accounted for about 32.9% share of world GDP and about 32.5% of the world population. The goods produced in India had long been exported to far off destinations across the world. International trade in India reached 24% of GDP by 2006, up from 6% in 1985. International trade as a proportion of GDP reached 24% by 2006, up from 6% in 1985 and still relatively moderate. Although economic in the core, globalization has pervasive effects on the society. It has its impact on the social structure, values, social institutions and attitudes. India is a multilingual, multiethnic and multi-cultural society. Globalization has impacted noticeably on cultural identity and social harmony among various social groups. The Indian social structure is extremely categorized; replete with a multitude of enclaves of several types and strata.  The picture we have drawn so far sees China as benefiting from corporate-driven globalisation only if it maintains its low-wage advantage. The same TNCs that once invested in Southeast Asia have moved to China and are prepared to move once more if China loses its competitive edge in labor costs. This may be difficult to imagine at this point, but it cannot be warded off indefinitely if one continues to be dependent on a low-wage, export-oriented, foreign-capital dependent strategy of development. In the light of globalization and regional economic integration, some political convergence will have to take place in Southeast Asia — and it will likely be in the direction of greater openness, freedom and pluralism. This book provides deep insight to various dimensions of issues relating to the subject.
