Zusammenfassung:This topical survey of mainland China's growing extra-regional hegemony opens with the definition of a world power, and ends with China as too weak to engage itself actively, but also too big to be overlooked (1 33). This conclusion comes from the careful scrutiny of the nation's inner power factors, cultural activity, international popularity, military firepower, and economic weight.

As such, the preponderance of English-language sources begets many untranslated quotes, but the German text itself is strewn with English jargon and idiom. Text in German; abstract in English.
