As technological evolutions continue to gather momentum, there is a strong move by some scientists and philosophers to transform the present human nature that is characterized by the phenomenon of life and death into a superman, where aging and its corresponding end in death would be eliminated, making it possible for the humans to live for untold numbers of years. Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robots and other technological machines will take over the basic duties of a natural human. This book looks at the features of this envisioned new world, and anticipates that the transhuman world will lack ethics of good living and respect for human life if proper measures are not taken to guide technologists and the technologies' usage. Until this is done, the transhuman world would be worse than the Hobbesian State of Nature where life was said to be brutish, nasty and short. Since every step of growth goes with its unique kind of fear, the book adopts fearology (the study of fear and its management) in proposing what developing countries should do to be able to fully integrate into this expected world. For the developing countries to secure a leading place in the future world, they must take the studies of science, technology and philosophy seriously. This is why the author suggests the establishment of The Philosophy Academy and The Technology Intervention Institute to launch in unique perspectives on how the technologically-driven world can be instituted without necessarily negating the ethics of mutual living and respect for human life which ought to be the hallmark of every society.

According to New China's long-term development plan, the Chinese military will complete its modernization by 2035. Moreover, a beautiful China will fully blossom as well by 2035, in its various charming and radiant aspects, including its ancient culture with modern Chinese characteristics, its benign positive soft power, its clean and green ecology and environment, its friendly and peaceful global diplomacy, and its win-win and progress-prosper relationships with the world's nations, through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to cooperate and co-develop for bilateral and international/regional benefits, and for the common good and the shared future of humanity. By 2049, New China will complete its ambitious, ardent and arduous century-long march of national development, modernization, and rejuvenation/renewal, and strongly establish its own world-class military forces. Following the previous two volumes: (1) China's Renaissance on its phenomenal rise and transformation over the past 70 years (1949-2019), and (2) China's Long March of Modernization with its remarkable and unique portfolio of blueprints,masterplans and roadmaps for full development, modernization, and rejuvenation by mid-21st century, this third volume incorporates (1) SOARING DRAGON which further explores China's present and future developments, and (2) CHINA AT THE CUTTING-EDGE which provides a brief on China's revolutionary breakthroughs and innovations in both the economic and military fields. And its message: New China is standing tall as a leading global innovator. This timely publication completes the New China development Quartet on the country's envisioned and planned/scripted 100-year-long (1949-2049) struggles to comprehensively and fully develop, modernize, and rejuvenate/renew itself, and to build up a world-class military with distinctive Chinese characteristics. The contemporary Chinese Dream is China's Vision 2050: of a boldly-reinvented, fully-restored and gloriously-transformed nationhood by 2050. According to its manifest destiny, New China will regain its historical foremost status among the world's nations, by the highly auspicious time of the People's Republic of China (PRC)'s centenary on 1 October 2049. As they say, history will repeat itself. And, it will do so, magnificently, in New China's restoration to geopolitical preeminence.
