Looking at the life and legacy of Emperor Yang (569–618) of the brief Sui dynasty in a new light, this book presents a compelling case for his importance to Chinese history.
Xiong accepts neither the traditional verdict against Emperor Yang nor the apologist effort to revise it, and instead offers a reassessment of Emperor Yang by exploring the larger political, economic, military, religious, and diplomatic contexts of Sui society.
While a series of strategic blunders resulting from the darker side of his personality led to the collapse of the socioeconomic order and to his own death, the Sui legacy that Emperor Yang left behind lived on to provide the foundation for the rise of the Tang dynasty, the pinnacle of medieval Chinese civilization.

 phorum - Our World Forum at Asiawind - WHY ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM AND SEPARATISM ARE THREATS TO WORLD PEACE
As far as China's leadership is concerned, the Taiwanese separatist movement is the most important concern of her foreign and domestic policies, because it is the litmus test of her ability to exercise her sovereignty inside her own territory and the most serious affront to her national honor.
Naturally, the initial signs would be economic, as the state would have to resume control of critical resources, such as food, fuel, and currency.
Long before any hostilities break out, the effects of this war economy will be felt globally, as China hunkers down for the showdown over her dignity as a sovereign people, notwithstanding the comforts and luxuries that she would be giving up, to face up to that challenge.
