China's History-Based Plan For World Domination

Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it, but the Chinese are studying history with the explicit hope that they do, in fact, repeat it. National Security and the Rise and Fall of Great Powers is the Chinese Communist Party's examination of how nations over the last 500 years -- from Spain and Portugal to Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States -- gained and lost power. The idea being that the Chinese want to follow that blueprint for themselves. We break down their ideas about how countries rise and fall and what they get right and wrong.
