This book deals with China's global aspirations, which rise from its economic power, history, tradition, ideology, and culture. Confucianism guided the emperors in their mandate of heaven over two thousand years. Today government-driven Confucianism as a country's soft power is embedded to advance China's aspirations for global power. The methodology in this book is historical and cultural narrative to gain a more profound understanding of China-how China thinks and acts.

Her research interest in China covers political and economic issues intertwined with history and culture.

"This is a book about Confucianism in contemporary China. ... I do think that this is an informative and timely new book linking some of the main ideas in traditional Confucianism with contemporary Chinese ideology and policies as regards constructing a world order and cultivating global influence."
