A groundbreaking new book, From Ancient to Futuristic World: China’s Advanced Journey Through Innovation, AI, and Influence, offers a sweeping and deeply researched examination of China’s dramatic ascent as a global economic and technological force. Drawing on decades of firsthand observation, the author presents a detailed analysis of China’s transformation from a struggling nation in 1949 to a world leader shaping the future of innovation, artificial intelligence, infrastructure, and global governance.
The book outlines how China has rapidly expanded its economic capabilities to become the world’s leading exporter and manufacturing hub, now responsible for more than 31 percent of global industrial output. It also explores China’s dominance in essential industries such as rare earth elements, steel, solar energy, and electric vehicles. Readers gain insight into China’s remarkable technological breakthroughs, from the Chang’e-4 and Chang’e-5 lunar missions to the world’s largest high-speed rail network and the precision-driven BeiDou navigation system. The book further highlights the nation’s expanding technological independence, including Huawei’s development of a 7nm 5G chip.
With a strong focus on China’s long-term strategic planning, the book details initiatives such as the construction of 200 smart cities, the strengthening of digital governance, and the implementation of a forward-looking 2030 to 2035 economic agenda centered on next-generation industries. These developments are placed in contrast with the author’s assessment of the United States’ evolving global position, including the perceived weakening of traditional pillars of American influence like the dollar, military reach, technological leadership, and financial systems.
The book also examines the shifting geopolitical and economic landscape. It discusses the deepening partnership between China and Russia following Western sanctions, the rise of the BRICS coalition’s de-dollarization efforts, and the implications of the expiration of the U.S.-Saudi petrodollar agreement in 2024. It also explores how energy shortages and mounting economic pressures in Europe have prompted several nations to pursue closer commercial ties with China despite calls from Washington to reduce reliance on Chinese markets.
In its concluding analysis, the book argues that China’s emphasis on patience, economic resilience, and global engagement positions it advantageously in a rapidly changing world. As the United States navigates internal political challenges and global pressures, the author suggests that China’s diversified economy and long-term planning underpin a stability that will continue to shape the international order.
From Ancient to Futuristic World invites readers, policymakers, and scholars to reassess global power dynamics and to consider how China’s strategic approach is influencing the future of international relations and technological development.
Digital economy has enhanced the living standard of the Chinese people. China’s global influence is boosted by its BRI projects across many countries and bilateral trade with many African countries with zero tariffs on their imports.
