Steeds meer drukt China zijn stempel op de wereld. Machthebber Xi Jinping heeft zich ten doel gesteld China wereldleider te maken en is hard op weg die ambitie te verwezenlijken. Voor de Chinezen is dat niets nieuws: hun heerser zwaait sinds een paar duizend jaar de scepter over ‘alles onder de hemel’ en China vormt het centrum van de wereld. Het wereldleiderschap is als een natuurwet: de oudste beschaving, de meeste inwoners en weldra de grootste economie.Het Westen heeft lang gedacht dat het Chinese communisme niet te verenigen viel met de noodzakelijke modernisering. Ongetwijfeld omdat wij ons hardnekkig als de maat der dingen beschouwen. In Fabels over China gaat Jan van der Putten diep in op de taaie misvattingen in het Westen over China. Kennis die hard nodig is om het uitdijende imperium tegemoet te treden.
