China’s Growth Over the Centuries

Gp Capt Kumar Kirinde (Retd) …. with Memo to his Retiree Colleagues in the Sri Lankan Armed Services

Dear RAFOA member,  As I see, the way strategic matters are taking shape in our beloved Sri Lanka, the Chinese factor has come to stay in relation to the three aspects to be taken care for the progress of a nation-state i.e. political, economic and social development. Therefore, I strongly feel that we all need to have an idea of how China came to be a world power. Accordingly attached is a brief on Imperial China, the first of a series of eDocs compiled on China covering its journey from 221 BC to the present day.

The other docs in the series are,

1. Republic of China (1912-1949) ……. governed by the Kuomintang (KMT) Party
2. Chinese Communist Revolution (1927-1949) – Part 1
3.  Chinese Communist Revolution (1927-1949) – Part 2
4. People’s Republic of China – Part 1 (1949-1976) governed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
5. People’s Republic of China – Part 2 (1976-2002)
6. People’s Republic of China – Part 3 (2002-2023)

With kind regards, Kumar Kirinde, President – RAFOA
