Liu Mingfu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Colonel (ret.) Liu Mingfu (刘明福) is a retired Chinese PLA officer and noted Chinese author, public speaker, and hawkish military commentator. As the author of well-known nationalist book China Dream: The Great Power Thinking and Strategic Positioning of China in the Post-American Era, Liu argues that China should displace the United States as world leader.[1]

Liu advocates that China's pursuing a "military rise" will allow it to rival and then surpass America's role as a source of global order, in an Olympic-style competition between civilizations.[2] Liu has taken inspiration from Union tactics in the American Civil War in a potential war of unification with Taiwan.[3]

Along with co-author Wang Zhongyuan, Liu's book Xi Jinping sixiang (literally, Xi Jinping Thought) was the first public usage of that formulation.[4]:25

Liu has published 13 works, and there are 212 library holdings.[5]

2 editions published in 2015 in English and held by 106 WorldCat member libraries worldwide, including Harvard University Library, Princeton University Library, Pentagon Library, Yale University Library, etc.

The book examines the inherent conflict in U.S.- China relations and the coming "duel of the century" for economic, military, and cultural dominance in the world. Written by a veteran Chinese military specialist and scholar, The China Dream defines a national strategy to restore China to its historical glory and take the United States' place as world leader. First published in Beijing in 2010, The China Dream provoked international debate with its controversial vision of a world led by China. Now available in English, this is the definitive book for understanding the "hawk" version of China's national destiny debate and is essential for understanding China's strategic goals in the 21st century
