4.0 out of 5 stars A realistic appraisal of China's success by someone who knows
In 1990 I moved to Pudong, a farming area on the eastern bank of the Huangpu River, the river which divides East from West Shanghai. This was a year before Pudong was declared a Special Economic Zone and I was one of only three foreigners living there at the time. 23 years later Pudong is China's financial capital, boasts several of the world's tallest buildings and it is...

3.0 out of 5 stars The Finger and the Moon
There is a Chinese proverb that says, "When the sage points out to the moon, the fool looks at the finger." In true Maoist fashion, we should reverse the saying, and swap the roles between the fool and the sage. It is the fool who is pointing at the moon, and his pointed finger needs close examination. The moon, in this example, represents global power status, and the...

This review is from: China Goes Global: The Partial Power (Hardcover)
In 1990 I moved to Pudong, a farming area on the eastern bank of the Huangpu River, the river which divides East from West Shanghai. This was a year before Pudong was declared a Special Economic Zone and I was one of only three foreigners living there at the time. 23 years later Pudong is China's financial capital, boasts several of the world's tallest buildings and it is home to many global companies. According to a 2011 China census there are now about 50,000 foreign residents in Pudong. So nowadays when people talk up China I am inclined to agree because I have seen the change first hand
In his book China Goes Global, the Partial Power, David Shambaugh, a China expert at George Washington University, acknowledges China's epochal metamorphosis from one of the poorest and, some would argue, insignificant countries in the world to one of the wealthiest. He calls this transformation, as many have before him, the "big story of our time." Yet Shambaugh does not subscribe to the hype about China's global dominance, either present or forthcoming. He writes: "Some observers have already proclaimed that China will rule the world, This prospective is profoundly overstated and incorrect in my view. ......China has a long way to go before it becomes, if it ever becomes a true Global power. And it will never rule the world."
Shambaugh argues convincingly that China's global presence nowadays is in his words "shallow." Not only does China not have strong international alliances, say the way US and other western Countries do ( Chinese strongest alliances are often with closed failed states like North Korea, and Russia), but China ranks very low on many surveys which measure a country's global standing and effectiveness. Where other nations are committed to international humanitarian causes, the sole purpose of China's global undertakings Shambaugh argues is to bolster its own economy and it seldom if ever takes initiative in solving global problems e.g. environmental problems.
And the Chinese economy is not what it seems according to Shambaugh. China's global dominance in exports is largely owing to Chinese Government policies which have artificially given Chinese makers an advantage over manufacturers in other countries e.g. currency manipulation that keeps the RMB undervalued and subsidies of SOE ( state owned enterprises). Shambaugh also argues that China;s main exports are low-value consumer goods and that China lags far behind real global powers like the US and Japan in terms of exporting financial services and high value products. All of these are valid criticisms.
One reason that China has failed to export its financial services sector to other countries is that management in Chinese companies is often mired in inefficiency and lacks a true global mindset. And this explains why so many of China's international Mergers and Acquisitions - a lot in recent years - are failing. I would have to say that I think Shambaugh is onto something here. Although I have seen China vendor performance improve over the last 20 years e.g. vendors are more upfront about their capabilities than they used to be, working with China vendors is half of the time an exercise in frustration. Vendors still refuse to take responsibility for a mistake, think nothing about misleading customers and if they do not like the project you are offering them they will simply not reply. In my own dealings with vendors in China I often feel that I am dealing with the same people I was dealing with 20 years ago. Progress can be very slow.
As I near the end of China Goes Global I find myself thinking back to a visit to Guangzhou a couple of years ago. I was standing at my hotel window one morning admiring the Guangzhou cityscape which seems to grow taller with each visit of mine to that city. On the expressway below me I spotted a car backing up on the shoulder of the road, an inherently dangerous maneuver. Obviously the driver had gotten off at the wrong exit and rather than get off at the next exit and go back, they had decided it was easier to back up on the expressway. I saw this vignette as being very emblematic of modern China: Progress all around but prevailing attitudes and customs which belie that progress. And this is Shambaugh's point. China changes but it remains the same.
Still, in the end I am not sure that Shambaugh is not being a little reckless with his claim that China will never `rule the world.' When he writes this I cannot help but think back that day in 1990 when I stood on the main road in Pudong and waited for over an hour for a bus that was not dangerously overcrowded (seven busses in all). If someone had told me as I waited on the dusty road where bicycles outnumbered cars 500-1 that in a space of 20 years Pudong would be one of the financial capitals of Asia ( where cars probably now outnumber bicycles 500-1) I would not have believed them. But it happened. So if China one day "rules the world" or does not, only time will tell.

4.0 out of 5 stars Globalizing China in Search of both an Identity and Place around the World,
Serge J. Van Steenkiste (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: China Goes Global: The Partial Power (Hardcover)
David Shambaugh challenges with much dexterity the conventional wisdom that China already has all the tools to be a global great power. China comes out as a confused and conflicted rising power. Although the country has become prosperous, it feels at the same time that its national security is at risk and that the world has not shown the international respect that it craves.
Mr. Shambaugh explores the diplomatic, economic, cultural, and military footprints of China around the world to prove to his readers that China is only a partial power in each of these four dimensions.
1) Diplomatically, China comes out as risk-averse and narrowly self-absorbed. The country is primarily concerned with domestic economic development and the image and longevity of the ruling Communist Party. China has shown both little interest in global governance and discomfort with the liberal international order set by the West after WWII.
2) Economically, China increasingly has a decisive influence on global trade and the imports of energy and raw materials through its mercantilism. However, Chinese outbound investments and multinationals have not yet had much impact on the rest of the world. Similarly, China's aid programs reflect both a lack of size commensurate with its status of world's second-largest economy and a frequent non-compliance with international donor standards.
3) Culturally, China is not generating emulation because of the sui generis nature of its culture and the lack of a transferrable economic experience. Nonetheless, the country has a clear impact on tourism and art purchasing around the world.
4) Militarily, China does not come even close to the U.S. in conventional global power-projection capacities. However, China qualifies as a global power in the areas of missile forces, space-based capabilities, and cyber forces. Furthermore, China has not been good at cultivating allies as the U.S. has done due to its erratic, inconsistent foreign policies over time.
Therefore, Mr. Shambaugh invites his audience to rethink the rise of China. He agrees with Joseph Nye that the greatest danger is that China overestimates itself and the U.S. overestimates China, especially in the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2007-2008.
Finally, Mr. Shambaugh succinctly explains to his readers that the realist, liberal, and constructivist mainstream international relations schools seek to condition and shape China's rise. He calls for fine-tuning the efficacy, logic, and strategy of integrating China into the institutions, rules, laws, and norms of the international community. Therefore, Mr. Shambaugh emphasizes training schemes for Chinese professionals more carefully focused on the key areas of civil society, media, rule of law, government transparency, human rights, and global governance.
In summary, Mr. Shambaugh convincingly demonstrates that China is only a partial power diplomatically, economically, culturally, and militarily whose integration into the international community is a work in progress.

5.0 out of 5 stars China Goes Global very readable, filled with insight,
Roland Barker (Boise, Idaho) - See all my reviews
This review is from: China Goes Global: The Partial Power (Hardcover)
David Shambaugh has visited or lived in China every year since 1979, which has given him a unique opportunity to watch China rise from the end of the Cultural Revolution to its place in the world today. His books on China's Communist Party, its military and its leaders are required reading among his peers. China Goes Global will fit the same bill but it also is very readable for amateur China watchers, which we all should be. China's economic might has spread its financial infrastructure around the world. But Shambaugh says without influence, soft power, its economic power is limited.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but Somewhat Biased,
This review is from: China Goes Global: The Partial Power (Hardcover)
Author Shambaugh believes that the rise of China is the big story of our era. He undertook the research for this book as a reaction to most academics viewing China through an increasingly miniscule area of focus, missing the forest for the trees; another problem he saw is that too many simply evaluated China's actions in light of various theories (predominately traditional economics and liberal political science). Overall, Shambaugh believes that the elements of China's power are weak and uneven, less influential than thought. This assertion, however, is based on the assumption that America's approach of pursuing a broad base of influence continues to be effective, even after the Great Recession, our weakened economy (high unemployment, large and growing deficits), stalemated government, and the growth of asymmetric warfare capabilities by China, Iran, and Russia that now can largely neutralize America's vaunted Blue Water Navy.
Shambaugh sees a strong reluctance by the Chinese to get involved in foreign entanglements, seeing them as diversions that can sap its economic and military strength. A special Chinese concern has been avoiding conflict with major established powers. It prefers to be seen as conducting 'peaceful development,' rather than seen as 'rising' or 'reviving.' When Deng Xiaoping took command in 1978 the national policy agenda, foreign and military policy included, was focused on economic development - ergo the West and Asia's advanced economies. Subsequently its appetite for energy and raw materials has broadened its foreign policy interests to include natural resource supplier states.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) came to power staking its legitimacy on overturn the old order in which Western imperialists and Japanese 'devils' plundered, killed, and humiliated it. The CCP's claim to political legitimacy also includes pursuing claim to Taiwan and maximizing the grandeur in which its leaders are received abroad while minimizing embarrassment by public protests or openly aired disputes with foreign leaders. After China's recent territorial disputes with a number of nearby nations, no Asian nation, except possibly North Korea and Pakistan, fully trusts it; even small but independent neighboring Mongolia, Myanmar, and Nepal all fear being swallowed by Chinese capital and immigration - they have taken steps to distance themselves from its influence. Russia has also imposed limits on Chinese immigration, thereby also shielding Europe.
China's 2012 budget for internal security ($111 billion) exceeded that of the military for external security ($107 billion). Chinese leaders see that the best way to maintain order is to be benevolent and unified; leadership divisions are viewed as an invitation for internal and external forces to take advantage.
One senior CCP Central Committee member estimated that only 10-15% of its top leaders' time is spent on international affairs. The CCP's International Department claims to maintain ties with over 400 political parties in 140 nations and receives about 200 delegations/year - their purpose being to monitor the outside world, absorb lessons for its own use, and provide positive first impressions for rising foreign leaders. Each day bout 9,000 travel between the U.S. and China; during the 2011-12 academic year nearly 160,000 Chinese studied in American universities and about 20,000 Americans in China. There are 300 million Chinese learning English and about 200,000 Americans learning Chinese. Dialogues between the two nations are generally consultative, where each side informs the other of its preferences and policies rather than forging real cooperation and coordination. The sphere of cooperation appears to be shrinking - possibly because the two nations are frequently bumping into each other in new areas of the world and now even in space; others believe this is a result of growing Chinese self-confidence after the 2008 Great Recession in the U.S. American ongoing surveillance along China's coastline, strengthening U.S. alliances (Australia, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand) and ties (India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, and Vietnam) don't help relationships, nor do our continued arms sales to Taiwan and the European/American arms embargo vs. China. U.S. concerns include Chinese currency manipulation, theft of intellectual property rights, espionage and hacking, and barriers to outside investment.
China is pushing to weaken the power and influence of the West via phasing out the dollar as the world's reserve currency. (Even the world Bank expects the dollar to lose world dominance by 2025.) From 2005-11 the RMB appreciated about 25% vs. the dollar. China sees itself as not trying to overturn the international system, just reforming it to recognize China's growing power, encourage multi-polarization and empowerment of developing nations. Experts see China as more concerned with its own interests than contributing to a collective good. Some Chinese rationalize this on the basis that 'responsibility theory' is but another way to get China to accede to U.S. wishes, others that China has too many internal problems to afford the luxury of contributing to global issues.
China has learned to milk the international aid system - by the end of 2009 the World Bank had cumulatively committed $46 billion in loans to it, involving 309 projects, more than for any other nation; it also has received $19.25 billion from the Asian Development Bank.
Between 1996-2007 it voted with the U.S. only 11% of the time, though 93% in agreement in Security Council votes. BY the end of 2008, China was signatory to over 300 treaties. It has been among the least frequent users of veto power among the P-5 members of the U.N. Security Council - 21 from 1971 to 1996, and only 5 from 1996 to 2011; instead, it often expresses 'principled opposition' via abstention - in over half the Council votes cast. It seems sanctions as a last resort. Supports Interpol, public health issues, environmental improvement (its own record being largely the opposite), and nuclear non-proliferation.
China has had the highest average GDP growth of any nation over the past two decades, averaging 10.2%/year. It has four of the world's top ten banks (measured by capitalization), the largest foreign exchange reserves ($3.2 trillion), the largest foreign holder of U.S. debt ($1.6 trillion), and is the world's largest exporter. Its best chip factories are 2 - 3 generations behind the leaders. Huawei has 120,000 employees (half in R&D), and now offers foreign government access to its source code and security checks. China is the largest global manufacturer in 28 of 32 household appliance categories - mostly for domestic consumption; its Haier is best known for refrigerators, with 10% of the world market. Lenovo is #2 seller of PCs (about half in China), and China also owns Volvo.
China spends $7 - $10 billion/year on overseas publicity - eg. training in Chinese language, sponsoring cultural events; it is now buying into U.S. movie firms. China has no foreign bases or stationing, except under U.N. sponsorship. Its defense spending is 1.4% of GDP (reportedly understated - should be about 1.6%) - their analysis showed that excessive defense spending was one of the reasons the U.S.S.R. collapsed. Defense spending in China has risen from $15 billion in 2000 to $105 billion in 2012. It is still unable to land hundreds of thousands on Taiwan or enforce a total blockade around it. Its Navy has made the greatest advances, helped by buying Russian technology. China is now giving priority to silent submarines and 'carrier-killer' missiles. Its ICBMs are mobile (hard to track) and solid-fueled (faster launch). Its the third nation to put a man into space (2003), and set up a space station in 2011. China is also known for strong cyber forces - DOD reported nearly 90,000 attacks in 2009.
China is not significantly influencing world affairs, per Shambaugh - and that is his measure of true global power. Two exceptions - its contributions to U.N. peacekeeping operations and anti piracy naval operations in the Gulf of Aden.

5.0 out of 5 stars splendid analysis,
Ward A. Fredericks (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: China Goes Global: The Partial Power (Hardcover)
David Shambaugh provides a splendid analysis of the growth of international power and
presence of China. He has a perspective informed by wide study of the culture and the economy,
and provides a beautifully written tour of the topic. Recognizing Chinas decisions to focus
on limited aspects of world power projection, he details the background and evidence of
confusion as well as wisdom.
An open writing style makes this an enjoyable read. The level of detail demonstrates the scholarship
and level of knowlege Shambaugh brings to this work.
This is a must read for any serious student of current China.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Finger and the Moon,
Etienne ROLLAND-PIEGUE (Seoul, South Korea) - See all my reviews
This review is from: China Goes Global: The Partial Power (Hardcover)
There is a Chinese proverb that says, "When the sage points out to the moon, the fool looks at the finger." In true Maoist fashion, we should reverse the saying, and swap the roles between the fool and the sage. It is the fool who is pointing at the moon, and his pointed finger needs close examination. The moon, in this example, represents global power status, and the fool's finger stands for David Shambaugh's botched attempt to assess China's growing international footprint.
In China Goes Global, Shambaugh expounds on the idea that China is not significantly influencing world affairs and that it remains a partial power - as opposed to a true global superpower like the United States, which sets the norm of what nascent powers like China should aspire to become. In field after field of global activity, China is compared to the standard set by the US, and fails the test by a wide margin. In multilateral diplomacy, contribution to global public goods, global business and investment, ODA policy, culture and soft power, security and military affairs, the conclusion remains the same: China "punches below its weight", is "not carrying proportionate international responsibility", and remains "a partial power". Even economically - the one area where one would expect China to be a global trendsetter - we find that China's impact is much more shallow than anticipated. Shambaugh concedes that "only in some sectors does China actually exercise global influence: global trade patterns, global energy and commodity markets, the global tourism industry, global sales of luxury goods, global real estate purchases, and cyber hacking."
Throughout the book, China's outward performance is evaluated on a scale and according to criteria dictated by the dominant power. Indeed, there a subtle irony at work in China's vying for international status: China aspires to be a global player, but the rules of the game are set in a way that protects the incumbents against outside competition. The international rankings, the evaluation benchmarks, the concepts used to discuss global influence all incorporate subtle biases and in-built preferences that tilt the playing field toward one camp at the expense of the other. Nowhere does the author envisage that the rules of the game may evolve and be changed when a new set of players enter the fray, or that they may begin to play an entirely different game. The assumption is that America's approach of pursuing a broad base of influence continues to be effective, and that it shows the direction others should follow to claim a similar degree of influence for themselves.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the discussion on soft power. The concept has been espoused enthusiastically by Chinese scholars and policymakers. Everybody laments China's lack of soft power, explains this deficit by cultural, economical, or political arguments, and offers recipes on how to build it. But as Shambaugh reminds his readers, Joseph Nye's concept of soft power is "largely about the capacity of a society to attract others, rather than a government to persuade others." As a consequence, Beijing's effort at seeking influence through public diplomacy and cultural presence is useless, and may even be counterproductive. Soft power, like good taste or proper manners, is "not something that can be bought with money or built with investment." It is the code of honor that incumbent powers post against the new rich in order to limit access to the club.
Soft power exerts a subtle form of cultural hegemony, defined as the diffusion of values that ensure the social reproduction of the ruling elite. By putting soft power outside the purview of government policy and squarely on the side of civil society, Joseph Nye and his epigones merely reproduce an American model in which the promotion of cultural assets is carried out by the private sector, with minimal state intervention. Looking at cultural policies throughout the world, this model is the exception rather than the norm. The "cultural exception" touted by French politicians only states a "new normal": massive public involvement in the promotion of culture, language and values that are competing for a place in the battle of ideas.
One strength of the book is that it quotes many Chinese scholars and politicians, and attributes the ideas expressed to their original author. Many Chinese experts thus emphasize that China still hasn't achieved global preeminence, and that it may be set on a different course than previous patterns of hegemony. For instance, vice foreign minister Cui Tiankai states that "China's position is far behind the United States. We are not a peer of the United States... We have no intention to compete for global leadership." Or a MOFA official: "We are not very good at public diplomacy, of telling our positions to the world. It is important to tell the world what we are doing, but we don't know how to tell our story effectively." Or Yuan Xuetong, from Tsinghua university: "China is not prepared for world leadership." Indeed, these positions are expounded in the White Paper on Peaceful Development published in 2011, and from which the author draws a few excerpts. "China's peaceful development has broken away from the traditional pattern where a rising power was bound to seek hegemony." "For China, the most populous country, to run itself well is the most important fulfillment of its international responsibility."
What are we to make of such quotes? First, and this should have been underscored more forcefully by the author, China is in a league of her own as a 1.3 billion-strong developing country. Unilaterally, China makes an important contribution to global governance by effectively governing itself. On global health issues for instance, China has an important role to play merely by maintaining a careful watch over transmittable diseases at home, and by publicizing the results. Having lifted 660 million people out of poverty since 1981, China's contribution to global development dwarfs all the achievement publicized by the aid community. China's adoption of world standards such as trade rules or corporate governance principles makes them truly universal, and Beijing's participation in global forums like the G20 increase their legitimacy and representativeness.
As effective as China becomes in "telling its own story", its image will always be shaped by outside perceptions. Chinese experts' modesty in assessing their country's outward performance may be seen as a cultural trait. Confucian scholars value humility and self-restraint, and are educated in the virtues of collective endeavors. Instead of taking pride in their past achievements, they emphasize the part of the journey that remains to be travelled. But their lack of pretention can also be construed as a ploy to hide China's underlying strength and to bid time in their strategy for global preeminence. Conversely, when a Chinese representative brags about his country's performance and others' failures (as became more common after the financial crisis and global economic slowdown), outsiders are the first to denounce his arrogance. Indeed, Shambaugh popularizes the notion that, beginning in mid 2009 and lasting through the end of 2010, Beijing moved to a more assertive stance on the regional and world stage. The idea that 2010 represented a turning point known as the "year of assertiveness" was recently debunked by Harvard scholar Alastair Iain Johnston, who showed that this misperception was largely a reflect of punditry and the blogosphere's new importance in foreign policy debates.
According to one American scholar quoted by Shambaugh, China needs a foreign policy `reset'. But looking at the way things go, it is the whole international system that needs a reset. To make such a claim turns one into what Shambaugh labels a revisionist, as opposed to a supporter of the status quo. But the status quo is simply not viable and cannot endure. Consider the following:
. A world where Chinese consumers enjoy the same lifestyle as Americans would need two extra planets to sustain itself. Natural resources are not inexhaustible, and carbon emissions cannot be doubled without causing massive damage to the planet.
. The international system was never bipolar; it was divided into two camps. To have two or more powers pursuing a strategy of global influence makes the system highly unstable. To provide some degree of stability and predictability, the system must coalesce around one equilibrium.
. The theory of power transition, whereby a rising power inevitably challenges the incumbent, cannot hold in an age of nuclear weapons and global interconnectedness. If China and the United States enter into conflict with each other, it will be over regional issues like Taiwan or North Korea, and not because of a contest for world supremacy.
When the fool points to the moon, the sage looks at the finger, shrugs his shoulders, and invents a telescope. China is a game-changer, and its entry into the field is changing the rules by which the game is played. To assess China's global presence by existing standards and criteria is to miss the mark by a wide margin. The book on the consequences of China going global remains to be written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful analysis of the influence of China today,
A. Menon (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
This review is from: China Goes Global: The Partial Power (Hardcover)
China Goes Global attempts to put into context China's influence in the world today. There is no doubt that China's economic rise has created immense interest in understanding the motives and goals of China in both the local and global context and this book adds to the literature on the subject. It is different from many of the other books on the rise of china and what that means by being very specific in its analysis of current institutions and sentiments of policy makers rather than long term hypothesizing about where the current growth trajectory of China will take it. The book is split into 8 chapters the first and last of which set the stage with 6 middle chapters analyzing the various dimenstions in which China's influence permeates.
The first chapter focuses on China's global identity. It discusses how China does not have a global identity per se and has various perspectives within the country that drive the rhetoric that we often hear. The strength of the party is considered to be a function of focusing the nationalistic pride of the population against the century of humiliation that was endured and so one often hears conflicting messages from China, some catering to domestic nationalism while others to the international audience. The book then goes on to discuss the diplomatic presence and global presense. The author gives the history of the opening of China from Mao to Deng. The history with Russia and then the US is discussed. The author discusses how China is a part of the multinational world but acts in a very bilateral sense. Its voting patterns in the UN general assembly are extremely low overlap with countries like the US vs Russia for example whereas in the security counsel it has higher overlap. The author sees China acting on its narrow self interest and prefering abstention over action. The view that China has no interest in interfering with other sovereign states is argued quite persuasively. The next big topic tackled is China's economic presence. China is now the world's second largest economy and the growth of its economy has motivated both fear and wonder. Its impact on resources is detailed as are the elements of its business and the organization of the economy. It discusses the breadth of China's multinational corporations or lack thereof in many cases including the SOE sector. The author then discusses culture and soft power. China wants to be better understood culturally and would like to deploy more "soft power" as a function of being better understood. The author gives a detailed analysis of the various policy bodies and institutes that exist for these goals. The author also notes that they have largely been ineffective. Finally the author discusses China's growing military capabilites. China currently has the 2nd largest military budget in the world at over 100 billion USD and its technology is rapidly moving up the information frontier. The army, navy and airforce are all discussed. The author also discusses cyberwarfare and China's prominence in that field currently.
The author concludes that China is a growing power but it is a partial power. He sees China as having little global influence and being risk averse and narrowly self interested in its diplomacy. The economic weight of China and its influence on the global economy is far in excess of its political influence. The author argues that China has little to no soft power as few want to emulate China despite its success and its military evolution though impressive has little to no international reach. The author argues China will continue to be a world player but it is far from a world leader. China goes Global is a welcome addition to the literature on China, it is detailed and well argued and the authors examples are very convincing. One learns a lot about the internal conflicts and inconsistencies in policy and politics but also gets a sense of how these have come to exist. In terms of China as a model for others, it is hard to argue with the author that China has no soft power in the west as its economic engine though enviable is not interesting while embedded in its overall institutional arrangement. I do think much of the developing world though does look to China as an example of a successful way to grow out of poverty so its a bit overly critical and contextual from a western perspective. All in all this was a good addition to the literature which brings the euphoria of China's rise back down and closer to reality.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on China I have read,
This review is from: China Goes Global: The Partial Power (Kindle Edition)
Shambaugh's "China Goes Global" is the best book on China that I have read. It is dense, and perhaps not a style that is appealing to everyone; but neither is the book that long. It provides a very efficient synopsis of all you need to know about China today. And Shambaugh clearly knows China. He has organized and presented an overview of all facets of China's status, organization, assets and performance -- political, military, cultural, and so forth. Like a Consumer Reports analysis, you don't necessarily have to agree with his conclusions, because he gives you so much information that you can draw your own, based on your own insights and experiences. I would give this six stars if I had that option.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fresh assessment of China's global power,
This review is from: China Goes Global: The Partial Power (Hardcover)
Alarmists, adhering to a "realist" view of international relations, view China as moving to challenge the USA for the position of global hegemon. Shambaugh points out whatever Peijing's intentions it still lacks the economic, military, and diplomatic capacity required to present such a challenge for many years to come. Indeed, it is not yet a great power much less a super power; It is only a "partial power."

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Data, a bit slanted,
This review is from: China Goes Global: The Partial Power (Hardcover)
China Goes Global is full of good detailed data on China's planning process and implementation of global trade. The book is trying to be sceptical of China's intent with a lot of side comments and negative adjectives, however the real data overcomes these assides. Shambaugh's American power slant is understandable, but his bias is overwhelmed by the facts presented. I highy recommend the read.

Ed Andrieski, Associated Press
CENTENNIAL, Colo. — The judge in the Colorado theater shootings refused again Wednesday to make a quick decision on whether to order a Fox News reporter to reveal her confidential sources for a story she wrote last year.
In the article, New York-based reporter Jana Winter cited anonymous law-enforcement sources who said shooting suspect James Holmes sent a notebook containing violent drawings to a University of Colorado, Denver psychiatrist before the attack.
Holmes, who had been a student at the university, is charged with fatally shooting 12 people and injuring 70 at a movie theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora on July 20. A judge has entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
Holmes' lawyers want to know the names of the officials who spoke to Winter. They argue the leak violated a gag order and could weaken the credibility of those officials if they are called to testify in a trial.
Defense attorney Rebecca Higgs suggested Wednesday that law-enforcement officers may have lied under oath when they denied speaking to Winter. That was sufficient reason to require Winter to testify, Higgs said.
Pacing and gesturing, Higgs argued the issue is whether a law enforcement officer decided to "flat-out lie."
Judge Carlos Samour Jr. said he would not make a decision on Winter's sources until he rules on whether the notebook will be admitted as evidence, reiterating a written order he issued Monday.
He told Winter she would have to return for another hearing Aug. 19.
Winter argues she should not have to identify her sources under Colorado and New York shield laws that protect reporters' sources under some circumstances.
If the judge orders her to reveal her sources and she refuses, she could be jailed.
In December, 20 law-enforcement officers testified or submitted affidavits saying they did not speak to Winter. One of them, Aurora police Detective Alton Reed, took the stand again Wednesday and said he spoke only to an Aurora police sergeant about what he saw in the notebook. That sergeant already has testified that he did not speak to Winter.
The judge on Wednesday also ordered both sides not to discuss plea negotiations in future court filings, saying that violated state judicial rules.
Last month, defense lawyers said in a court filing that Holmes had offered to plead guilty if prosecutors would agree to a life sentence. That prompted an angry response from prosecutors, who said in their own filing that the offer wasn't genuine and accused the defense of trying to drum up public pressure for a deal.

Pyramids - Pyramids
- Band Name: Pyramids
- Record Label: Hydra Head
- Release Date: Apr 22, 2008
- Summary: This is the debut album for the Denton, Texas, metal band.
- Record Label: Hydra Head
- Genre(s): Rock, Metal
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 6 out of 8
Mixed: 2 out of 8
Negative: 0 out of 8
Fans of Jesu will enjoy the boisterousness of some arrangements here, the incessant crushing of the listener's resistance.
Pyramids' very impressive debut treads the fine line between otherworldly beauty and sheer unadulterated noise, its loveliest soundscapes blotted by feedback and distortion, its most aggressively ugly rampages pierced by unexpected intervals of tranquility.
Pyramids would serve as a helluva soundtrack to a dream I once had, a lucid dream around age 10 wherein I woke up within the dream, realized I was in a dream, and acted accordingly. Super accordingly.
Sure, they're a very raw talent, but a formidable talent nonetheless, and this record's peaks hint at even greater musical epiphanies to come.
The mixes (on the second disc) reinforce the strength and weaknesses of Pyramids, not only showcasing their craftmanship in the surface of sound, but also insinuating that there might not be much beyond these sculped surfaces. [July 2008, p.55]
Pyramids can sound like several songs playing at once, a psychedelic instrumental played backward, or the muffled recording of a session two rooms away. [July 2008, p.155]

A woman with her 2-year-old son in tow was accosted in her driveway last week.
According to the Wauwatosa police report:
The mother had just unloaded her little boy from the backseat of the car. Holding his hand, she walked toward the back door of her home in the 1300 block of North 69th Street about 4 p.m. Dec. 14.
A man approached her from behind and grabbed her around the waist with both hands. When he demanded her purse, she tried to speak but the robber jammed an object into her ribs and told her to "shut up."
He took her purse and ran off through the backyard.
She was able to look at the robber and described him as a black man with a dark complexion, about 20 years old, standing about 5 feet, 9 inches tall and having a thin build. He was dressed in a gray sweatshirt with the hood pulled over his head and dark-colored pants.
The woman's smart phone, which had been in her purse, was recovered damaged in West Allis.

That Levi Johnston is one "classy" guy, said Glenn Thrush in Politico. The father of Sarah Palin's grandson, Tripp, who was born out of wedlock to teenager Bristol Palin, embarked on a new career as a pistachio pitchman. In his debut commercial, Johnston "makes light" of his failure to use a condom by standing next to a burly bodyguard and munching on a nut as the voiceover says, "Now Levi Johnston does it with protection" (watch Johnston's pistachio ad).
"This unsubtle nod to Johnston's teen dad status isn't unexpected," said Courtney Hazlett in MSNBC. Ten-month-old Tripp is Johnston's "golden ticket"—would we still be talking about Bristol Palin's ex "if he hadn't fathered her child"? This commercial "plainly advances a notion that if you impregnate the right person, you can make money for doing so."
"The risqué joke may raise some eyebrows in Republican circles," said Matthew Moore in Britain's Daily Telegraph, but a pistachio ad is "the height of respectability compared to some of Johnston's other career options." Remember, the 19-year-old high-school dropout told Vanity Fair last month that he would consider posing naked for Playgirl. If he's determined to parlay his fame and "rugged good looks" into a media career, this is a relatively tame way to do it.
It's just an ad for nuts, said Marina Hyde in Britain's Guardian, but the pistachio gig "catapults" Levi Johnston "straight into the mainstream." A tongue-in-cheek commercial is what passes for a "serious role" for a young man who got his start as tabloid gossip fodder. "This is the American dream in action, people, and you should give it six months before the reality show."

Morning Roundup: American Eagle shedding stores, Cordray admits problems at CFPB, bundt cakes, bundt cakes, bundt cakes

American Eagle closing 150 stores amid disappointing sales, Rich Cordray's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau admits its faults, McLane Co. bringing $119 million logistics complex to Ohio, PNC is the middle child of banking, Cincinnati officials want a train link to their airport, and a new shop selling nothing but bundt cakes.
American Eagle shedding stores: American Eagle Outfitters Inc. plans to close about 150 stores after a disappointing first quarter, the Pittsburgh Business Times reports. The retailer, whose headquarters are in western Pennsylvania but whose chairman and interim CEO is Columbus' Jay Schottenstein, said about 70 would close this year, including 50 from its flagship brand and 20 Aerie lingerie stores. "We are committed to improved profitability and are working hard to implement our plan to strengthen our brands, channels and operations," Schottenstein said in a statement. The Business Times also reported that the company is looking to renegotiate leases on many more stores, threatening more closures if it can't get rent relief.
CFPB admits mistakes: Rich Cordray is admitting there are problems with bias at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. The former Ohio Attorney General released a report supporting many of the allegations first brought to light by American Banker of employment discrimination against women, minority and older employees. Democrats at a congressional hearing about the matter "said they hoped the situation would be used to improve the CFPB instead of trying to disband it," the paper said.
High-tech logistics center coming: Ohio's status as a logistics hotbed is getting a boost by a big grocery products distribution center in Findlay. The Toledo Blade reports McLane Co. is building a $119 million complex that'll create an estimated 425 full-time jobs. The paper said applicants "will need more than basic skills" because the warehouse will rely heavily on automation and robotics, using more engineers and skilled technicians than forklift drivers. McLane, part of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B) conglomerate, got state tax incentives to locate here.
Stuck in the middle: PNC Bank is the " middle child of banking," the Washington Post says in a blog about being too big for a community bank yet too small to considered with the too-big-to-fail crowd. CEO Bill Demchak chats about competing in such a world, dealing with regulators and more.
Airport train proposal: Officials in Cincinnati are trying to find ways to build a train from the region's airport to downtown, the Cincinnati Business Courier reports. They hope to convince Congress to allow them to charge passengers a ticket fee to fund the project, the paper said.
Bundt cakes galore: And finally, are bundt cakes the new cupcakes? A shop dedicated to selling only bundt cakes is opening in Dublin, the Dublin Villager reports. The cleverly named Nothing Bundt Cakes is a Nevada-based chain making its Ohio debut, the paper said. It's at 6560 Perimeter Drive, in the same plaza where Dewey's Pizza is opening next week.

Lists: To-DOS, Illustrated Inventories, Collected Thoughts, and Other Artistsby Liza Kirwin
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the weekly shopping list to the Ten Commandments, our lives are shaped by lists. Whether dashed off as a quick reminder, or carefully constructed as an inventory, this humble form of documentation provides insight into its maker's personal habits and decision-making processes. This is especially true for artists, whose day-to-day acts of living and art-making overlap and inform each other. Artists' lists shed uncover a host of unbeknownst motivations, attitudes, and opinions about their work and the work of others. Lists presents almost seventy artifacts, including "to do" lists, membership lists, lists of paintings sold, lists of books to read, lists of appointments made and met, lists of supplies to get, lists of places to see, and lists of people who are "in."
At times introspective, humorous, and resolute, but always revealing and engaging, Lists is a unique firsthand account of American cultural history that augments the personal biographies of some of the most celebrated and revered artists of thelast two centuries. Many of the lists are historically important, throwing a flood of light on a moment, movement, or event; others are private, providing an intimate view of an artist's personal life: Pablo Picasso itemized his recommendations for the Armory Show in 1912; architect Eero Saarinen enumerated the good qualities of the then New York Times art editor and critic Aline Bernstein, his second wife; sculptor Alexander Calder's address book reveals the whos who of the Parisian avant-garde in the early twentieth century. In the hands of their creators, these artifacts become works of art in and of themselves. Lists includes rarely seen specimens by Vito Acconci, Leo Castelli, Joseph Cornell, Hans Hofmann, Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner, H. L. Mencken, Robert Motherwell, Barnett Newman, Jackson Pollock, Richard Pousette-Dart, Robert Rauschenberg, Ad Reinhardt, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, and Andrew Wyeth.

A five-year-old girl child, who had been missing from her east Delhi residence on Sunday evening, was found brutalised inside a locked room below her Gandhi Nagar residence on Wednesday.
Police said they suspected the hand of a tenant who had rented a room from the victim's family a week before the incident and was currently untraceable.
"The victim, according to her family members, was last seen playing outside her residence on Sunday evening. Her parents had approached the local police station immediately after she went missing and registered a case of kidnapping," said Prabhakar, DCP (east).
As the police formed several teams and began a search for missing child, her parents heard the sounds of a child crying from a locked room below the house. They alerted the police about the "strange" sounds. A team of officers broke down the house and found the child howling in agony, smeared in her own blood.
"She was rushed to the SDM hospital where her condition was stated to be stable. Several teams are on the lookout for the missing tenant," DCP Prabhakar added.
In a similar incident, a three-year-old girl was raped by her neighbour after he lured her to an isolated place in southwest Delhi's Najafgarh on Thursday afternoon.
The accused, however, was nabbed by some passersby who were alerted by the girl's screams and rushed to the spot.
A mob beat up the accused, identified as Randhir, 25, before handing him over to the police. A case of rape was registered against Randhir and he was arrested. Police said the accused worked as a driver in a private travel agency in Najafgarh and is married.
Chandra Mohan Sharma, the RTI activist and Aam Aadmi Party member whose burnt body was recovered from his car in Greater Noida three months ago, is now suspected of having staged his death.

Jose Mourinho has described Chelsea's injury situation as 'difficult' ahead of their clash with Southampton on New Year's Day.
The Blues' vital 2-1 win over Liverpool on Sunday came at a cost with defender Branislav Ivanovic and veteran midfielder Frank Lampard both forced off the ground with injuries, while enigmatic utility David Luiz is also out due to suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season.
While the return of Ramires will ease Mourinho's selection headaches, the former Inter and Real Madrid manager admits it is not an ideal situation to be in as they prepare to face one of the surprise packets of the Premier League this season.
"We lost David (Luiz) because of yellow cards, we lost Ivanovic and Lampard with injuries. We've recovered Ramires but we are still in a difficult situation," he said ahead of the game at St Mary's.
"(Southampton are) another team with good players who are influenced by the manager's culture in the way they play and the way they build. And they feel very comfortable at home so it is another very, very difficult match."
Compounding what is already a difficult trip to the south coast is the fact Southampton are near full-strength and despite Mauricio Pochettino's men not enjoying the form they showed early in the season they will be no pushovers, with Mourinho looking forward to the challenge.
"I had a quick look at their team selection and I think that only (Artur) Boruc and (Victor) Wanayama were not in the team - everyone else was," he said.
"So they must be in the maximum of their strength so it's a big game but it is good for us.
"We are in the top four - two points off the leader - so let's enjoy the 31st of (December) in the hotel."
Mourinho also stressed the importance of staying in the top four in what is one of the most congested Premier League tables in recent memory.
Just nine points separate first and eighth and with the Blues tracking far better than they were this time last year, the Portuguese manager is keen to keep his side near the top of the table.
"We are ok. Last year in this moment we were 12 points behind the leader so game over. In this moment we are two points behind so game on! Let's keep going," he said.
"We have to protect the top four because the top four this season will be a big achievement for anyone.
"And if we can protect the top four let's see what we can do and let's see if Manchester City kills everybody or if they stay close to all of us."
