Colonel (ret.) Liu Mingfu is a noted Chinese author, public speaker, and military commentator. He is a professor at Beijing's National Defense University, China.
"Liu Mingfu has written a subtle, sophisticated history of how he and many of his colleagues perceive American grand strategy since George Washington. Then, he proposes what China needs to do in the decades ahead so as not to "give the world to America." He argues not only for a Chinese defense force equal to the American military, but make an appeal to Americans to give up our domineering "hegemony." He prefers instead that we relax while a nation with 5,000 years of history leads the world with its superior virtue. American readers will be surprised to see how he recommends China follow many lessons from our history since 1776, but avoid our dark side. He praises the three greatest Chinese emperors of Qin, Han and Tang who combined a peaceful economic rise with a marital spirit and strong military forces." Michael Pillsbury, Director of the Center for Chinese strategy Hudson Institute Washington DC
