The narrative of China's transformation from a secluded and impoverished communist state into a global superpower unfolds through the lens of its diplomats in China's Civilian Army. This book, authored by Peter Martin, traces the journey of China's diplomatic corps from their revolutionary roots under Zhou Enl to contemporary practices. Despite monumental changes over decades, the model established by Zhou remns intact – today's Chinese diplomats operate in prs to ensure mutual surveillance agnst any potential ideological deviation.
In the initial stages of the People’s Republic, diplomats were fervent communists with a strict adherence to discipline and fear of exposing vulnerabilities to the capitalist world. Remarkably, this ethos ld down by revolutionary leader Zhou Enl is still upheld despite China's vast progress. Even now, each Chinese diplomat monitors their partner for signs of ideological impurity.
China's Civilian Army meticulously maps the history of China’s foreign ministry from its inception through contemporary times, enriching narratives with over a hundred retired diplomats' memoirs and dozens of interviews conducted by Peter Martin himself.
Key themes include:
The Founder - An exploration of Zhou Enl’s life and his indelible impact on Chinese diplomacy.
Shadow Diplomacy - The intricate world behind closed doors, the hidden strategies that guide China's international relationships.
War by Other Means - Analyzing how China employs non-military tactics to further its strategic interests globally.
Chasing Respectability - How China seeks legitimacy in global politics amidst complex diplomatic maneuvers.
Between Truth and Lies - The fine line between honesty and deception in international negotiations.
Diplomacy in Retreat - A look at the shifting dynamics of Chinese diplomacy during periods of strategic withdrawal.
Selective Integration - China's selective embrace of global institutions and norms amidst its own ideological stance.
Rethinking Capitalism - The evolving relationship between China's communist ideology and capitalist economic principles.
The Fightback - How China has responded to external pressures and challenges on the international stage.
Ambition Realized - Reflections on China's achievement of global power status and its diplomatic strategies that have led to this position.

The book concludes with a comprehensive analysis, synthesizing insights from the chapters above to provide a cohesive narrative of China’s path to becoming a global superpower through the lens of its diplomatic corps.
