Story5
On 20 October 1962, high in the Himalayas, on the banks of the fast-flowing Nam Ka Chu, over 400 Indian soldiers were massacred, and the valley was overrun by soldiers of China's People's Liberation Army. Over the course of the next month, nearly 4,000 soldiers were killed on both sides, and the Indian army experienced its worst defeat ever. The conflict (war was never formally declared) ended because China announced a unilateral ceasefire on 21 November and halted its hitherto unhindered advance across NEFA and Ladakh.

Story4
Author Stewart Gordon has fashioned a fascinating and unique look at Asia from AD 700 to 1500, a time when Asia was the world, by describing the personal journeys of Asia's many travelers - the merchants who traded spices along the Silk Road, the apothecaries who exchanged medicine and knowledge from China to the Middle East, and the philosophers and holy men who crossed continents to explore and exchange ideas, books, science, and culture.

Pro Jahr mehr als 1.500 Kilometer neue Gleise für Hochgeschwindigkeitszüge, über ein Dutzend neue Wolkenkratzer allein in Shenzhen und mindestens 1,38 Millionen neue Patente: Chinas Diktatur treibt eine hocheffiziente Wirtschaft an. Sie baut einen digitalen Überwachungsapparat auf, wie ihn die Welt noch nicht gesehen hat, und dehnt im Stil einer neuen Kolonialmacht ihren Einfluss aus - ob in Afrika, bei der neuen Seidenstraße oder durch Investitionen in Griechenland oder Portugal, für die im Gegenzug Linientreue bei EU-Resolutionen gezeigt werden muss.

Chinas Aufstieg fasziniert die Welt - und lehrt sie das Fürchten. Unter Parteichef Xi Jinping erlebt das Land einen Rückfall in die Diktatur. Gleichzeitig dehnt es seinen globalen Einfluss immer weiter aus. Nicht nur in Amerika, auch in Europa wächst das Unbehagen an der neuen Weltmacht und an ihren Methoden. Droht ein neuer kalter Krieg oder sogar ein chinesischer Triumph über den Westen? ZEIT-Korrespondent Matthias Naß gibt einen spannenden Einblick in das Land, das sich anschickt, zur Führungsmacht des 21. Jahrhunderts zu werden.
