In his best selling book “When China Rules the World”, he argued that China ”far from becoming like the West it would remain highly distinctive. ...China''s economic transformation and political system would continue long into the future and similarly its political system. ...Westerners (should not) attempt to understand and evaluate China through a Western prism (but) on its own terms. So, for example, China could not be regarded as a conventional nation-state but was primarily a civilization-state. Westernisation...had peaked, and China''s rise will lead to a growing process of sinicisation in the world and the end of a Western-dominated international order.” (Wikipedia) The somewhat controversial book was written in 2009 and has proven prophetic. I wish more Westerners would read him. I think even a Chinese like myself, “westernized” in many ways after years of living in the West, can benefit by listening to him.
