"Wang's The China Order offers an elegant analysis of 'what China is' and what China's rise represents." — Journal of Chinese Studies
"The strengths of the book lie in its obvious erudition (including, for example, a 68-page bibliography of items in Chinese and English), the clarity of the overall revisionist argument, at a time when much commentary in English at least tends to well-established nostrums based on either liberal or realist postulates, and its extremely useful dissection of much of the terminology in which current debates about China's foreign policies are conducted." — Pacific Affairs
"[Wang's] presentation and documentation of his argument is so thorough and devastatingly masterful that anyone who wants to talk about a 'China model' really should be required to read this book." — China Quarterly
"a magisterial history of what the Chinese people, and both their Chinese and non-Chinese rulers over the centuries, have thought about how the entire world should be arranged." — Claremont Review of Books
"[a] thought-provoking volume Highly recommended." — CHOICE
"An original, important, well-researched, and powerfully argued exploration of the virtues and vices of the Chinese state from its ancient past to its likely future." — Edward Friedman, University of Wisconsin, Madison
"A masterpiece. Wang provides a grand, sweeping, even epic review of two thousand years of Chinese history. His argument is compelling and well documented; the richness and variety of sources—Chinese and English—he cites is breathtaking. The book is likely to end up on the reading list of every serious student of China's position in the world for many years to come." — Daniel C. Lynch, author of China's Futures: PRC Elites Debate Economics, Politics, and Foreign Policy
"This imaginative and provocative grand tour of Chinese cosmological order and geopolitical strategy, past and present, is destined to become a classic." — Ming Xia, author of The People's Congresses and Governance in China: Toward a Network Mode of Governance
