About this ebook
""Beijing Legacy"" explores the historical, political, and global dimensions of Beijing, revealing how it became the epicenter of China's identity and power. From its roots as an imperial capital with landmarks like the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven to its current status as a global metropolis, the book examines how Beijing reflects China's transformation. Intriguingly, the city's urban planning has always been deeply intertwined with political symbolism, and its modern development is pivotal to understanding China's Belt and Road Initiative.
The book progresses chronologically, first establishing Beijing's imperial past and the shaping of its landscape by successive dynasties. It then transitions to Beijing's role in modern Chinese history, covering periods of revolution and the rise of the Communist Party. Finally, it analyzes Beijing's contemporary rise as a global city, looking at economic reforms and its increasing influence in international affairs, while also addressing the challenges it faces. This approach provides a comprehensive viewpoint of understanding China's evolving global posture.
