Colonel (ret.) Liu Mingfu (刘明福) is a noted Chinese author, public speaker, and hawkish military commentator. As the author of well-known nationalist book ''China Dream: The Great Power Thinking and Strategic Positioning of China in the Post-American Era'', Liu argues that China should displace the United States as world leader.〔Hughes, Christopher R. ("In Case You Missed It: China Dream" ), ''The China Beat'', April 5, 2010〕 Liu advocates that China's pursuing a "military rise" will allow it to rival and then surpass America's role as a source of global order, in an Olympic-style competition between civilizations. == ''China Dream'' == Liu is most well known for his book ''China Dream'', and also for the thoughts associated with it. The work does not predict inevitable conflict with the United States, but advocates China deterring the U.S.: "China's military rise is not to attack America, but to make sure that China is not attacked by America," Liu says.〔 China must thus pursue a "military rise with Chinese characteristics that is defensive, peaceful, limited, necessary, important and urgent."〔 William A. Callahan, a professor at the London School of Economics, says "rather than the win-win solutions suggested by both, The China Dream sees IR as a zero-sum game where victory and defeat are total."〔 Liu's book and thinking on China's power is part of a large debate in the country, centered on the question of what a China-led world order would look like. Some high-profile military personnel in China, including Major General Luo Yuan, have raised questions about Liu Mingfu's analysis—pointing out, for example, the vast gulf between the current state of China's armed forces, and the state they would need to reach in Liu's vision of a China-led global order. Western observers have described the book as a challenge to the United States role as a dominant power. In an apparent effort to diffuse American concerns about China as a challenger, Liu told ABC News, "there is no need for the American public to be afraid of China," adding that it's "impossible and unnecessary for China's military to surpass the United States."〔 Observers noted that the forward to the book was penned by Lieutenant General Liu Yazhou, son-in-law of former top Party official Li Xiannian. This "suggests that at least one politically connected senior officer is willing to associate himself with the author’s views," and the book's advertising in China heavily played up this official imprimatur.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liu Mingfu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
