Revelations of China’s global influence and intentions, from one of its most respected foreign policy analysts.For Washington, China is a strategic competitor: the only country with both the will to reshape the world order and, increasingly, the means to do so. For Europe, the People’s Republic is a ‘partner for cooperation, an economic competitor and a systemic rival’. For NATO, it is a ‘decisive enabler’ of Russia’s war against Ukraine. Yet Beijing’s image is far more positive in the Global South, of which the PRC considers itself a part.Zhou Bo’s essays unpack China’s own view of its role today. The PRC is operating not only in a world becoming less Western, but—more importantly—a West becoming less Western; and the key to its outlook lies in Africa, the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific as much as in Europe and the White House.Are Moscow and Beijing really so closely aligned? Where are Sino-Indian relations headed? Is China a new Cold War foe for the West? Or will economic ties inev

•19歲創立知名電商網站Gumroad、一度認為自己會跟比爾蓋茲等數位大佬一樣的作者，但經歷一場「失敗」，他重新定了一種「新創」。我們想讀的創業故事其實都有相同的路徑，產品一上線，眾人矚目，創投紛紛丟錢給你，每天擔心網站的伺服器撐不住。 Google派人聯絡你，希望以瘋狂的價格買下你的公司－－對！我們都只希望生出一個「獨角獸規模」的新創公司。那才叫做成功。2011年，本書作者薩希爾•拉文賈(Sahil Lavingia) 離開了Pinterest，那時他19歲。想去追求自己的創業夢，試圖打造了一家市值達10億美元的公司司Gumroad。Gumroad發展迅速，很容易就籌集到所有需要的風險投資。Gumroad公司是提供一個幫創造者找到買家的平台，一度有著華麗的辦公室，剛開始也的確像是邁向獨角獸公司的路上。但很快，他跟投資人都發現，發展不如預期，壞消息一直傳出、他被迫大幅裁員。所有人勸他在一敗塗地前把公司關掉，免得嚴重負債。但他轉念，終於理解「追尋獨角獸」是他的公司被視為「失敗」的原因，其實Gumroad本身是一個可獲利而且幫助許多設計師的永續網站。因此他沒有聽取創投意見，反而改變思考，將公司規模縮小再縮小（一度只剩自己一人），成為一家能幫助許多設計師、而且風險可自行承擔的「成功」公司。這本書起源自作者在網路上一篇文章，他思考自己想成為「獨角獸」的野心，反而阻止他做出一家「好公司」。作者最初在網路（Medium）上發表一篇文章〈打造億萬級公司夢想破滅後的自我反思〉，獲得讀者熱烈迴響藉著作者自己的失敗/成功案例，以及在「成功創業故事集」這種書不會介紹的創業案例，指出另外一種新創之道。從作者落下神壇、把公司從創投手中一點一點買回來，並且重新創造一家「慢公司」的過程，作者重新思考了另外一種創業模式，重點不是為了事業本身，而是為了創造一個一項讓你能夠創造東西的環境與團隊。在疫情之後，在歐美國家的創業人口紛紛增多，但我們大不部分人對於創業、新創的概念仍是只有一套劇本，希望這本在創投眼中失敗的故事，可以成為我們另外一個成功故事。
