They give a rare perspective on the greatest geopolitical drama of the last half century.In the early days of the Peoples Republic, diplomats were highly-disciplined, committed communists who feared revealing any weakness to the threatening capitalist world. Remarkably, the model thatrevolutionary leader Zhou Enlai established continues to this day despite the massive changes the country has undergone in recent decades. Little is known or understood about the inner workings of the Chinese government as the country bursts onto the world stage, as the worlds second largest economy and an emerging military superpower. Chinas Diplomats embody its battle between insecurity and self-confidence, internally and externally. To this day, Chinese diplomats workin pairs so that one can always watch the other for signs of ideological impurity. Theyre often dubbed Chinas "wolf warriors" for their combative approach to asserting Chineseinterests.Drawing for the first time on the memoirs of more than a hundred retired diplomats as well as author Peter Martins first-hand reporting as a journalist in Beijing, this groundbreaking book blends history with current events to tease out enduring lessons about the kind of power China is set to become.
