Immanuel C.Y. Hsu’s The Rise of Modern China presents a sweeping, authoritative account of China’s transformation from imperial dynasty to modern nation-state, spanning over four centuries of political, social, and intellectual upheaval. Hsu details the fall of the Qing dynasty, the rise of republicanism, the struggle between Nationalists and Communists, and the eventual establishment of the People’s Republic, illustrating how internal reform and foreign intervention shaped China’s trajectory. He argues that modernization was neither linear nor inevitable, but forged through conflict, negotiation, and ideological reinvention. The book synthesizes diplomatic history, economic policy, and cultural shifts, offering a comprehensive framework for understanding China’s emergence as a global power.
